The Meaning of Home

A house is a place with kitchens, rooms, bathrooms, and more. A home is different. Home is a place where you should feel the most comfortable. Home is where memories are made and where happiness is found. When you and your family are sharing happiness, you feel warmth, and liveliness. It is a place where you experience love, and gratitude. Home is a place where you can give your talents a chance to flourish. At home, you always have someone to support you on your journey. You may also experience negative things, too. You may experience loss, and grief at home, too, but home will always be a place to relax and calm down. Home is a place that connects everyone together. Your family, and your friends when they come visit. Home is a place where you share your victories. Your family will celebrate or congratulate you when they see your eyes sparkling with excitement. Most celebrations take place at home. Celebrations with your family and friends bring warmth and happiness to your day. A house protects you from weather, but a home makes you feel safe and sound. Your siblings or parents are there to calm you down and comfort you.
