Lighthouses
A lighthouse is a structure used to house a light source that acts as an aid to navigation for those at sea. It can also use a sound source for warning. They are also used to warn of dangerous coastlines, reefs, and other hazards, while indicating safe entries to harbors. Most remaining lighthouses are automatic rather than being manned. Questions should relate directly to all aspects regarding lighthouses, including their use and history.

Well I know that I'm thinking of getting one because my grandma loved them for some reason and both my grandparents died. Their house was the only place I ever felt i belonged and now i dont feel like i belong anywhere but anyways im thinking a lighthouse is where you're supposed to go to be safe from the storms metaphor stuff. It just the idea of a strong home and the place you always go to be safe for me. And of course anyone can connect objects to memories or use objects to represent something in their life.
