Where do you feel the most safe and content?

I'd say it was my bedroom. It's not great, messy at times and cold but it's the only place I can be unaware of people.

I have my laptop with an internet connection, books to keep me reading and all my things. Anywhere else in the house and I tend to be cautious.

I get barbs at why I stay in my room all, if most of the time, yet I feel like saying to them that here, I can do what I want without judgement.

Other than my bedroom, I'd say the public library at times is a peaceful, contented place to be. Whether using the computers, reading a book or a newspaper.

I don't think for me it's a place as much as it is a state of mind. Some places I have a harder time getting to the state of mind, like at school or work, when I'm around people, but usually it's not like one place that makes me feel safe and content. So things in the external world can influence, but I can feel unsafe and discontent anywhere with anyone, and on the flip side I can feel safe and content mostly anywhere as well, it just depends what I have going through my head. If I'm off in my own world while at work, I can feel totally fine, or much worse depending on what it is going through my head. I take comfort in some thoughts I guess, fantasies, thinking patterns,something alone those lines. There's no physical place I can always go and feel okay though.

And this.

My bedroom is a disaster. I'm trying to clean it up but it's overwhelming. It's also cold. I've had to close the vent because there's too much crap that just gets pushed over top of it. And we need new windows and insulation, so the outside wall is freezing. My desk is covered in crap, so I sit on my bed, hunched over my laptop. It's killing my back, as is sleeping on a worn out mattress, but I can't get new furniture until I get things cleaned. But I still spend a lot of time in here, because I can just be alone.

I certainly don´t feel safe and content in the shower, quite the opposite. I feel like there is always someone angry at me that I´m taking too long or wasting water. I am not wasting though, I only use as much as I need, but at the same time have to wash myself properly so I can´t take too little either.

I haven't had such a place in a long time. I've designed my room to be as comfortable and efficient as possible, but it's constantly violated by people entering it.

I remember when I was 10 or 12 years old, before we moved here I had my room in the attic i the old house. There was a large window that allowed me to look into everyone's yard and a playground not too far from my house.

Since it was three stories high, hardly anybody ever came there. That was the last real place I've felt secure and relatively at peace. When people weren't fighting downstairs, it was really quiet.

Now i live in a too small, single story, flat with 4 other people, 6 cats and 2 big dogs.
