My Happy Place
My happy place is not only a physical location, but also a period in time since passed. If I could, I would rewind the clock and place myself 10 years in the past. I would be at my grandparents place on the lake and would stop to truly appreciate the serenity and calm that was given to me there. I would look at the sky and really be grateful for my life in that moment. I would look out at the lake and question everything and nothing at the same time. I would breathe in the smell of fresh air and know that life would never be that simple again. I would watch the sun set over the horizon as that day slowly faded into a night sky filled with millions of stars….stars I would never be able to see at home. I would light a bonfire and invite family and friends to join me on this night to truly appreciate what we have. I would then close my eyes and hear the waves crash in, muffled by the sound of a roaring fire and joyous laughter. I would stop and think about who I am and who I will become. I would then go up to the house and prepare to sleep. I lay awake for hours just imagining what’s to come and remembering the day that just passed. I take note of this day and will forever hold it tight as my happy place!
