My Home

What is a home to you? What is a home to me? How can we transform a house to a home? Today I will tell you about what a home means to me, how we can transfer a house to a home, and how my home is. What is a home: A house is merely a physical structure, but a home is where the heart is. It is a place where memories are made, laughter echoes and love reside. In a house we have the presence of warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. A house includes four walls, a roof, bedrooms, and bathrooms. A home includes all these things too. But we just have a different feeling a connection will those specific places weather if it is a room the kitchen or the living room. We should feel comfortable while we are in these spaces. A home always holds love, safety, comfort, and all the other welcoming elements. A house is made from wood, cement, bricks, plywood, etc. But a home is built and filled with love, trust, caring people, laughter, and all the big and little things that happen throughout the years you have been in your home. My perspective : To me a home is a particularly important part of our lives. In a home we have our parents and loved ones with us. If we have siblings, we make a stronger connection with them. In a home we can feel safe, loved, cared for, and comfortable. A home can be anywhere, it could be in the middle of nowhere or it could be right in the middle of the city. How is my home: The environment in my home is always really loude . I mean there is always something going around, it is never really that quite.MY home smells like a hole batch of roses just wandering around the house. As a child living in a joint family or to say in a family of 13, it does sometimes get hard to be living in a family of 13. But most of the time it is quite chill as in no fighting or just not like each other in general. Theirs always people making noise or making messes and cleaning them back up. Theres always someone to do something with. So, we never get bored. My room is a space that I admire the most in my house. Me and my cousin share a room, so this is technically our special place to bond. Me and her spend time together in there. It is a place where we can recharge and unwind ourselves. My soft bed and cozy blankets, the art in my room, warm lights, nice coxy walls, and the led lights. This place is a very inviting atmosphere that we cannot say no to. I there we finish all our work and then watch a show or a movie, or even sometimes we draw or sketch something. My kitchen is a home to all the delicious food in my home. As soon as we enter to the kitchen, we could smell the aroma of the Indian spices, we could hear the sizzling of vegetables, we could be the judges of how the food was made, we could feel the energy of the kitchen slowly coming to our hearts. Hear we use all our 5 senses. Here my mom, 2 grandmas, and 2 aunts make delicious food that we devour in minuets or even seconds. The kitchen is also a popular hiding spot for hide and seek. We hide in the pantry or between the little cracks of our bottom cabinets. Since this is a quite common spot, the seekers always come here first. But it's okay. Our living room is the place where the whole family gathers up and bonds. Here we chill, watch tv, and talk about a topic. In the living room we have a fireplace, a couch, a family photo, and souvenirs. We [ the children] have a Friday night tradition. Every Friday when no one is home we tell creepy stories. All the lights are of the fireplace is on we sit in a circle and share our creepy stories. So, to make it concise, the living room is a place where the whole family bonds. What is a home to others: Person #1. A home is a place where we can be ourselves, where we can express our feelings, and where we make new connections. I have two different homes; on the weekend I go to my dad's and the others I stay with my mom. I admire both as my home whether if I stay longer at my dad's or moms. Both of those houses are my home. Person#2. To me a home is a home is a place where me and my family spend time together. In my home we help each other,and we share all of our happiness together. Person # 3. My home is very peaceful. We moved to 3 new homes in a year. I consider all of them as my home. But the home that I am in today may be in the middle of nowhere but it feels like my real home. I think a home should include happiness, positivity,and we should feel comfortable. In conclusion, we CAN transform a house to a home. You just need all the necessities. A home can be anywhere, you can transform a house anywhere. Thank you for listening. Just Remembr home sweet home..
