All about home

With family and friends in a loving environment, your house becomes a home, even if you don't have one. What is home? Home for me is a safe place. You talk with your friends and family, play games on the couch, and laugh. But some people don't have a house. After a hard day at work or school you're exhausted, and especially in the winter you're freezing. Even if I'm outside for a couple of minutes I get cold. “Is home physical?” A home is a place in your heart,it's not physical but you can feel it. How could that be a home? It can be a home because you love people and yourself; A home is a place in your brain that tells you it is safe and to be kind and helpful when you're in it. For me I grew up in a wonderful house, and I got to go to school. I know not many people are as fortunate as other people. I had a safe place to stay instead of being scared or cold. I think a home is somewhere you feel safe and loved. What is the difference between a house and a home? I think a house is something you might lose. A house is a place that's temporary. But a home will always be in your heart. It's not temporary, it gives you joy, not everyone has a loving environment. As long as you love yourself and people around you ,you have a beautiful home. Do you have a home or a house ?
