Why a Home Isn't the Same as a House.

The difference between a house and a home is that a house is a structure, a house has 4 walls and a roof. A home is a place of comfort, but not just a place for comfort, it's a stress relieving place where everyone belongs and deserves to be. Home is a place where there are pictures of family, friends and pets. Home is the smell of my favorite foods, and family, friends and pets too. Home is where you feel all sorts of different emotions. However, mostly I feel happy seeing my family. They make me feel a feeling that no one else can feel. A home is YOUR personal space. There are endless possibilities in a home, whether it's playing video games, playing card games, talking, or playing with toys. You can make any place a comforting home even if you move to different houses. It might be a hard change but YOU can make anything your home. Home makes you feel happy even when you're sad. Once I was sad that my friend forgot to give me a birthday invitation but when I realized that I was sad but my home made me happy again. Home also holds hobbies like practicing basketball or hockey in your driveway or talking to your friends and family. Home has a magical scent that makes you feel relaxed, nice, healthy. Home is also where tons of magic happen everyday, home is so important that leaving it can be considered one of the hardest things to do in the world. That's why home is different from a house.
