HOME:

growing up traveling around the us, vince never had one place he called home other than the caravan he and his siblings grew up in. so it him, home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling. it’s how he feels when he spends time with his family and his friends.it’s his employees at the third eye, considering them more to be family than just people who work for him. it’s his italian roots and how he brings where he comes from into his every day life.

HOME:

first and foremost, home to parker is crownsville. it was where they were born and raised and the town will always have a special place in their heart. second, new york is also home to them as well, where they lived up until they made the move back to georgia. and last, but not least, home is also their family, from their biological sisters to their drag sisters.

HOME. You discover that home is not a person or a place but a feeling you can't get back.

finley firmly believes that she still hasn’t found that feeling of home. she has lived in houses and apartments and the sofas of kind folk but home has not yet found her. her parents house was a version of a home where she was loved and adored and kept warm but as a child she always knew home could be elsewhere. in the big city where her dreams were. except los angeles was even less of a home than anything back in crownsville. if home is supposed to make you feel safe and loved, the city of angels did the opposite. emptiness became her permanent residence and the happiness she got from illegal substances was the journey back to a time gone by. and now even though she’s back in crownsville, her parent’s home no longer welcomes her with open arms. she knows she might find it someday - that one place where she has everything she needs but for now she has her friends. the closest thing she has to a place where she’s safe and adored and looked after. a place that welcomes her back and takes her in even when the day and night has been long.

The Valley of the Kings

A necropolis is a strange place to feel at home, but to Tereik this sun-scorched valley is the most important place in the world.  From the first time he heard about it, to the last time he saw it before moving to Georgia in 2017, he’s completely enamored with the place.  It’s an important place to him because nearly every significant event in his life was connected to the Valley in one way or another.  It’s where he met his doctoral advisor and mentor, who became like a second father to him, it’s where he stumbled upon the hidden entrance to a previously undiscovered tomb, it was where he met Gyda for the first time, where he fell in love with her and lost her the first time, and it was where he finally came face to face with the mummy of Tutankhamun, the young man who’s tragically short life inspired him to become an Egyptologist in the first place. 

Cairo

Tereik was born in this city and lived there until he was 12.  He’s happy in Crownsville, but Cairo is the city he will be referring to whenever he mentions home.  As soon as he turned 18 and graduated from high school, he moved straight back there and got an apartment.  He never would have left the city all if he hadn’t needed to go back to Atlanta to be with his father when he got sick.  Though his job took him all over Egypt, Cairo was his anchor, and he still owns a studio apartment there in case he ever gets back there, because right now, he hasn’t been there in almost two years. 

Crownsville

T never expected his house in Crownsville to feel like home.  He bought the house across the street from his sister when he got his job at the museum in Atlanta, but it was just a house, a place to sleep and keep his clothes between shifts.  That all changed when he and Gyda got back together, though, she turned his sparsely furnished bachelor pad into a place that actually looked like people lived in it.  He’s grown to love his house, but he knows he only considers it a home because it’s where Gyda is; they could be living in a cardboard box for all he cared, if she’s there with him, he’s home.

CROWNSVILLE TASK  006: HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

                      “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go                                                                as we are and not be questioned.”

Rose never had a home; the home she was born into had never felt like the home her friends used to think about. She thought she had found home with her ex but that ended up leading in a downward spiral of endless darkness and drug addiction. Since coming to Crownsville, Rose thinks she might be starting to understand what home actually feels like. It’s the feeling of being clean and on the road to recovery with the amazing support of a very dear friend ( @ade-a​ ). It’s the feeling she has with all friends and relationships she has made ( @teddyfinch​, @niklaus-reign​ @winterbaldwin​ @sxxreis​). It’s finally having an apartment, a place, to call her own where she knows she’s safe and sound every night. It’s the feeling she gets of warmth and love whenever she walks into the shelter to help out or when she steps into AIR, knowing she has a place to work and provide herself. Rose might not have a home yet, but she thinks she’s on the way of finding it out what home really is.

CROWNSVILLE TASK  006: HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

What is home to Olivia? 

Olivia doesn’t have a specific place/person that truly feels like home to her. For her, home used to be associated with people in her life, but that’s no longer the case. However, she is very fond of two locations. One being the library at the University of Oxford, where she spent countless hours reading and studying. The other place she is fond of is her modest house in Crownsville. It was a complete mess when she bought it, but she has since then renovated it and absolutely loves it. 

What does home mean to Olivia?

For Olivia, home means a stable foundation where she feels completely comfortable and safe, but she hasn’t quite found that yet. Although, Crownsville is very close to being that for her. She feels like she fits in there much better than any other place she has been to.
