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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
