Isn't It Homie To You?

People wonder what's the difference between a home and a house. A home is where you live, where you are loved, where you sleep, and where your worries go down the drain. A house is just a place with a roof and empty rooms, the smells are nowhere to be heard or smelt. While at home you hear and smell the cooking of your parents. A house isn't a home until someone is loved in it, has no worries in it, and you feel you're not in danger when you live in it. If I get a choice of a home and a house I will always pick a home over a house because a house isn't just a home yet. All the furniture in a room will never be more than a family of five. But with enough time and error a family could become a bigger one with parents becoming grandparents and children becoming parents themselves just because of a home. Home has more meaning than most people think. An empty house is pretty much a big room itself, while a home has 100 or more rooms with millions of memories when a house has less than one. If you want a home you need to cherish it. If you just want to go to your neighbours, you're going to a home not a house. If you're going to your friend's house, think about this: it's not a house. It's a home because someone lives there, is loved there, millions of memories are made there, and they cherish the fact that they have a home. People wonder what's the difference between them. Well, a home not just a big room with a roof. It's a place of cherishing love with family and friends.
