Your Happy Place

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Your Happy Place

Your Happy Place

 

whether that be a place in time, a place in space, with certain ppl, etc. etc. ... what are one or more of your happy places?

 

Some of mine:

- singing for pleasure

- Midnight, especially when I'm supposed to be sleeping, and especially when I'm doing something I love

- today I took a minute to just sit in the Avocado tree and I'm glad I did

- with all my friends (old school, BFFs, cub scouts, girl scouts, penpals, CBers...)

- immersed in nature (as you can see on the wildlife cams thread)

- the CB!!! 

- on the (soccer) field at night

- looking at the stars

- lost in a good book

- creating 

- not caring

my only happy place is: home alone for hours, playing a video game, snuggled up in a blanket with a small cat sitting on me, all this while eating candy. my parents do not let me do this very often at all.

I agree, I LOVE being up late at night, doing stuff I love instead of sleeping.

Some of my other happy places area:

The CB, of course

singing or chatting with the amazing people in my choir

When I'm so deep into reading that I don't even realize that I'm reading

hanging out with my sister (when we're not annoying each other)

just lying in my bed, allowing my imagination to run wild

writing; doesn't matter where

eating something sweet while reading a good story

Also what a cool thread idea! And a couple more happy places I thought of:

Snuggling with my baby sister and watching cute shows with her, preferably at the same time

-Under the bed (my bed is a loft bed, raised off the ground about 30 or so inches, so there's enough room to sit on the floor or lie down and read)

-With my cat

-The tree outside my house

-Swimming at night, especially doing fun things (swim team ends at 6:15, when it's dark and there are these giant lights on)

-The creek near my house

-In the rain

-Writing/reading in one of the porch swings (not on porches) in our neighborhood park

-My desk

ooh this is such a cool thread idea :D

- at my writing desk, when no one is bothering me, and the words are just flowing and the clacking of the computer keys is the only sound

- wandering around the woods near my great aunt's house--it used to be a trailer campground so i'll sometimes come across little trinkets (to say nothing of the pixie cup lichen!)

- there's a street i walk along on my way home from school each day and it's always so crowded and there's always little carts selling street food and it just feels so alive

- on the softball field, as the afternoon sinks into evening, and it smells like sun baked dirt and sweat and the leather of my glove, and it doesn't really matter whether we win or lose

- on the top of a ski mountain, as i finish buckling my shoe into my snowboard, and just take a moment to look at the patchwork of gray and brown far below and to breathe in the crisp winter air

- any sort of competition, when the adrenaline works in my favor and i feel like i can do anything

- in the rain, whether it's just a spitting or a downpour, and it feels like i'm just washing off all the negative stuff

- and, of course, the CB! love you all (/p)

I love this idea. Some of mine are probably:

- Lying on a grassy hill in the rain

- I live in the woods, and there is a walking trail that branches off into many smaller trails with little swamps and groves hiding all around. I like to take my dog out there and draw the scenery while he runs around

- When the perfect song comes on

-Taking a shower after you've cried

- Walking downtown with my best friends and going into all of the little shops

- The moment before a movie starts

- Getting to play a show with my band (theres a really cute venue near me and sometimes we get invited to go there)

Thats all i can think of!
