What does the term "Home" mean to You?

The Meaning of Home
Jermean Tabar

The term "Home" can often times be mistaken as a physical object, yet I beg to differ. For many, Home is filled with memories of you growing up, whether it be good or bad. It is filled with the people you love, as well as it is apart of who you are. I believe there are many definitions to the word "Home", yet when I begin to think about such a word, I connect it to a person. For me, there are people that are automatically connected to the idea of the term "home." This idea stands for just more than just the place you sleep, but rather it's about what the word "home" truly defines, and why it reminds me of certain people. Home stands for comfort, for peace. It's where you can find love and happiness or possibly it's where you feel the most safe and can truly be yourself. Even though many people could possibly fit those characteristics, there's one person who stands for it all for us. There's always that one person who allows us to feel safe, allows us to speak our mind and listens to what we truly have to offer to this world. In many different words, this person is our home. There is happiness and laughter with them, but just as home can be a bad place, there will also be some bad times involved with this person. But the driving force that stands out about that person, is trough the bad times, it prospers your relationship and makes you stronger than before. The person this article is about doesn't really matter, it really matters more that you go out into the world and just find that person. Once you find them, don't let anything happen to them. Don't let stupid, unnecessary things come in between you and that person. At the end of the day, remember that this person will always be there for you, as you will always be there for them. Enjoy every single second with them, and don't ever take them for granted. Don't forget to tell them you love them, or just a simple "Thank You" for being them. It may be hard to notice that there's that one person who defines "home" when you are surrounded by so many amazing people in your life, but next time you're with that person, take a second and just really look at them. Could you imagine life without them? That answer is up to you, but if it is a yes, cherish that moment and cherish that person.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
