House or Home?

I think home is where you feel comfortable in; it could be a tiny house or a large mansion, but that is the meaning of house. Home is love, emotion, friends, positivity, family or just comfort and happiness. Meanwhile a house is a structure to live in. When I went to India, I didn’t feel like I was at home. I felt uncomfortable because I wouldn’t go there often. I felt like I was at a random person`s house, but because I stayed with my grandparents a lot, and they treated me very well, I got used to staying there so staying there wasn’t that bad. My grandparents made me feel like I was in our home, not their house. If my parents were not at home, I would feel like I was in my house because I would be uncomfortable. If my parents were with me, I would feel like I’m at home. When I went to the chess tournament, when I lost many, many games I wasn’t feeling very well, but when I went home, I felt better because I saw my parents and I was in a familiar atmosphere, that is the power of home.
