find a special place

I don’t have my special place anymore.
Mine was my bedroom at my old house. At night, my parents were sleeping on the other side of the house. So I could play music at a normal level and talk on the phone and nobody would hear me. It was great.
But now, with my grandparents. Everyone is three steps away (literally =[ ) so I don’t really have a spot anymore where I can be myself and not have to worry about being bothered by anyone.

I have had this goal on my list for a while and i keep thinking to myself i should get a move on and find somewhere i like to go and get away from it all. Then today it occurred to me the one place i always go is my room. I know it sounds corny, but i love my bedroom. It’s usually always tidy and its full of things i have collected on my travels and photos of my family and friends. I love having this stuff all around me. When i am in my room everyone always leaves me alone and i can write or read or chat on the phone or simply day dream. Basically do what i want to do. One thing i know is that its always going to be my room and i do not have to worry about sharing it or think about the hassle of having to get there. Everyone needs their own personal place and i have mine.

there are everywhere, just need to keep an open eye…

Any place can be a special place. You can meet people anywhere who will ask a traveller to join them at the dinner table.

Aaah I can see it now. I’d love to have some kind of little house or den in the countryside, in a tree or somewhere hidden. I’d be able to see all that would be going on in my own little special place. I could invite only my closest and dearest friends, or even come alone and sit and think, or not even think, just…exist…

i’d like somewhere i can go when i need to get away from things, just think about life in general or not think at all. i dont have anywhere i feel is really “me”, everywhere i like to go has memories and traces of other people in it. i want somewhere to forget anyone else even exists.
