What is home?

Home is not a house, not a set of walls, not just a building. Home is where you live, laugh, love and make so many memories. It doesn't matter if your home is at school, with friends, family, or even where you live. It's still your home. When you are in a house it's cold and dark. In a home there is warmth that lingers in the air and a heart that beats. As soon as you walk into your home there is nostalgia that is there, whether it's a smell or something that makes you feel at home. A home is different from a house, a home is where you can find love, care and support. At home you can just be you and not be judged. A house is not a home. A house may have walls and be beautiful but a house can never defeat the true beauty of a home Everyone deserves a home.
