The Meaning of Home: In My Opinion

Hi, my name is Ayaan and today i will be explaining what a home feels like to me. A home is not just a house it is a loved, comfortable and safe place but it's not all about the place we live in, but it's about the people we share it with and the memories we make with them. At home,we can relax,be ourselves and we can find support when we need it. We also celebrate fun moments with each other like holidays,birthday party’s and also family time. At home you can also release your anger and frustration whenever you feel like it because the people you live with understand you. You can also make friends and play or hangout with everybody you live with. Home is also a place where you laugh, smile and learn and grow or even pets can make you happy or cared for. A house is a place with furniture, beds and a kitchen but a house is not a place you feel loved and cared for, it's a home. A home is where you have love and support whenever you need it but you might have fights with your siblings but you forget like nothing ever happened. Always remember this quote if you’re feeling sad because you lost your home in a fire event ”Although the house may burn down, the love and memories we carry within us cannot be destroyed” A home does not have to be big. A small hut, a teepee or even a tiny apartment can be a comfortable home. A home does not need to have expensive decorations or fancy designs, a home can be simple. A house might be more luxury than your home But always remember a house is just a building but a home is a place that is even more special.
