A Home Has More Then Four Walls

My home has more than four walls. It's a place full of connecting emotions running through the whole house and when you wake up you feel luminous and you're ready to start an adventure with your family. Seeing my family brings me a sign of joy, a smile on my face, a feeling of love and laughter. A house is a place with things that you might want or feel like you need but a home is a place with four corners and each corner means something to you, something that you can't leave. A house has furniture but a home has furniture where you have movie night. A house isn't quite empty but a home is full of love. If you look at a house you'll see something nice but if you look at a home you will see a reflection, a very important reflection. When I'm in a house I don't feel anything special to me but when I'm in a home I feel a connection to my feelings, to myself. A house can have a room with something you feel like you need but a house has something that means something to you, something that connects you to something. In a home you feel warm with your family. In a house you are surrounded by stuff that is nothing meaningful to you. When you eat dinner you feel the work your family did for you. After you hug your dog you feel warm inside and out. When you come home and see your family after school you feel like you have just been to some magical place. Seeing your family isn't just a feeling, it's a form of joy.
