A House Has Never Meant Home

House has never meant home. Your home makes you feel warm inside. I think everyone should have a warm home with family or friends. Nobody should not have a home. Home means you feel warmth, happiness, and love. A home can have four walls and a roof, and you can call it home. But it’s not about what it looks like, it matters who you share it with, the people who you love. Sometimes people say that there is no difference between a house and a home. They’re wrong. There is a big difference between a house and a home. Sometimes if you're with the people you love, it doesn’t even matter where home is, it could be on the streets or a sidewalk, but you are still with the people you love. That’s what matters. Sometimes when I go somewhere, I see people on the streets, begging for food and water and they are alone. That’s not home. It doesn't matter where you live, a city, the countryside, or even the middle. No matter what, the people that love you, are home enough. That is home.
