My Favorite Place
There aren’t many place you can go to find peace or find yourself at peace. It takes time to find a place that’s all you and where you feel at home. Everyone’s favorite place is different. Some like peaceful quiet places while others prefer places that have alot going on.
Either place is where we go to find our inner freedom and be our “true” self.
My favorite place is a little hidden spot in the woods by my great grandmother’s house.
I’ve run there countless times to clear my mind, make decisions, ease a broken heart, pretty much every experience life has thrown at me. My place is covered by trees and vegetation remains of a shed beside a little river(puddle now that Im older) leading from a pond further into the woods. It’s full of wildlife and I just feel at one with nature and myself when I visit. And
I’ve often visited both mentally and physically to unload my burdens. To me it the best and most comfortable place in the world.
My favorite place holds most of my old childhood and teenage trinkets. My favorite bear, the flower my very first boyfriend gave me, the rough draft of the “Dear John” letter I wrote breaking up with him, my favorite blanket and old sneakers that I out grew. I even have a buried time capsule there. Like the memories of my past lives it holds my greatest treasures. My favorite place holds the scent of fresh lemons and trees, because it holds two of the largest Magnolia trees I’ve ever seen in South Carolina. The Magnolia tree is my favorite tree so, it was only right for it to grow in my favorite place. I love the soft white petals of the flowers that bloom and the big green glossy leaves. My favorite place tells the true me peaceful, calm,
full of love, beauty,and serenity. Describes me perfectly I’d say. What does your favorite place say about you?
