Home is not just a house

To me, home is not the same as a house. A house is a building with a bed and a couch. Home is a place where I feel loved. A place I feel safe, cozy and get hugged. A house is made of bricks and has doors. A house has a roof and floors. A house is a place without a heart. It's different than a home, a work of art. Home is where I have my most joyful memories. Where I go to get rid of all my worries. Home is where I feel calm and relaxed. It is where I have great laughs. Home is where I feel happy and calm. Where I spend time with my sister, dad and mom. Home has many feelings. Joy, anger, sadness and healing. Home is home, it doesn't matter where. It has a specific smell in the air. Home is where I have my favourite food. Even though sometimes I’m not in the best mood. Home is where sometimes there's chaos and commotion Where you feel love and devotion. Home is not just a house. It's a feeling.
