Home is a place where the food tastes like memories from when you were younger. Home is the place where memories begin and you get to meet people you never knew. A house can be heated up by gas but a home is heated up by the love that you give to it. A house could be as cool as it is outside but it will never compare to the energy or aura inside of a home. You can get the biggest house and think it's cool but a house is just that. You only need a little space to make a home. A home is where your pet greets you, wiggling its tail and is excited to play with you but a house is a place that when you come the cold greets you with no excitement. Throughout a home you hear cheers and happy laughs but in a house you just hear your echo or nothing at all.The difference is big but every house is waiting to someday become a family home, every home is different. It could be in what country it was built or how it looks inside but there is one thing in common: someone lives in it even if it’s a lonely ladybug it's still a home to them. My family moved from another country but there’s an important thing about home versus a house. I had a home there and sometimes I miss it a lot. One was bigger or the backyard was better but I still enjoy my home and don’t complain about my home because I'm thankful to have one, and to continue making memories with my pet and family.
