Hey all!
My last post didn't genereate any comments so I decided to change my post to something a little more simple and a little more creative.
Write about a place where you are cometely content.
This place can be real, imaginative, or more abstract (like in the presence of a certain group of people)
Have fun!
I can completely relate to this. Ninety-nine percent (because I'm not you). And I'm sorry to hear that! If you wrote it, you should share it sometime. I'd love to hear it. It's just that my last post literally had nothing, and I didn't want to stifle the creativity so I just requested to remove it. Don't let me stop you from making a poem about anything from the website or even sending in a post card. I find it highly intriguing, the concept. Who wouldn't want to do something cool like that?? Anyway, I relate to your passenger seat post. I think a lot of people do, too. That's what is exciting about humanity. We all are so completely unique yet so similar. Yin and yang, maybe? Not sure. Just rambling here
ReplyDeleteI will forever be content at my grandma's house. It's almost like there's a different kind of air in her house to make me feel safe, protected, and content. She lives in the country so as you can assume, it's peaceful and quiet. Her couches must be made out clouds because I can fall asleep instantly on them. The creeks in her stairs will never get old to me, theyre like chiming bells to me. I also love swinging on her porch swing in the middle of summer with coffee in my hand just enjoying the moment of now, and all that's around me. Writing this is making me sad because now all I want to do is be there!!
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful. I was there as I read that
DeleteAfter reading this post I realized that's my most content place to be! You have no worries, and no responsibilities. You can just sit back and relax and think, or sleep, or stare out a window. I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy that!
ReplyDeleteI think the most content and place I know is in the city just walking around and looking at all the buildings, architecture, and people. Trips to Chicago are a lot of fun and there's always something to do and there's a ton of resturants and shops. Being surrounded by all the noise and craziness makes you realize you're not alone and that the world is a big place :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get where you are coming from! Some beautiful sights to be discovered in the city
DeleteI am completely and utterly content with being in the silence with my boyfriend. It may sounds cliché, being with my boyfriend, but it is the truth. He is much like family to me, and as a genuine friend. When we are with each other, there are no need for words. Our minds create the feelings, our looks set the mood and tone, and our eyes have the conversation. In our silence, we can laugh and have a grand old time. We can tell each other our deepest thoughts and secrets. Our silence is our way of communicating without exchanging anyone knowing. It makes me feel content knowing that even if I share the most undesirable things, that his silence back comforts me through it all. After all, love is shown, not heard.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I get you. (Getting a bit personal here) Once with one of my ex-boyfriends we went to my neighborhood park and just sat down in the grass and stared at the stars, and everything fell silent. Back then I thought it was because I was in love with my boyfriend, but now I know I just fell in love with the little lights above me. I don't think I or anyone else spends enough time looking at the stars. If we did, our lives would change a lot. We would look at things differently
DeleteI am completely content when I travel into my world of fantasy. When I'm there, I just let my mind wonder to the impossible. In my fantasy world, I feel happy and spontaneous. There I can be myself and have no fear of being judged
ReplyDeleteI hope someday your fantasy becomes reality in the sense that you are no longer feeling judged negatively, if that is how you currently feel. However, from experience I must say that you cannot escape judgement. People always form opinions on what they see and feel. It's just our nature. The best things to do for yourself as a human is to judge things POSITIVELY, rather than primarily in a negative way. I hope people do this for you, too! And if they don't, well, we've all been through a time where we mistook someone as something other than what they truly are. It's just humans being humans
DeleteI am complelty content Inbetween my ear buds, music gives me the ability to block everything else out and go somewhere else, where that place is changes with the song in listening to or the mood I was when I "left" to journey into that place
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this about you. I can agree, but after awhile I like to play my music out loud so everyone can share the experience with me! Too bad everyone has different music tastes
DeleteIt is interesting that you ask this question, because this is almost exactly like the prompt for the essay portion of one of my college applications! Basically, I am content in Chicago where there is always activity. Something about the transient experience of seeing strangers that you could have so much in common with but know very little about other than their appearance invigorates me. It makes me feel less alone, and more secure with my identity. Because of this, I feel like I can act like who I truly am in the city.
ReplyDeleteWhat college? And I think Danny Kelly would completely agree with you!
DeleteI am completely content in my mind, I can be easily distracted anywhere but when I'mthinking to myself I come up with ideas for novels, poems, and short stories.
ReplyDeleteI too go for a swim in my mind quite often. I like diving deep under the crushing pressure of my thoughts
DeleteI am content sitting anywhere where I can look out a window. I've found that whenever I'm doing anything that's not in the dark, I tend to face the window. I play ukulele and sing to the trees in my front yard. I can't stand airplanes if I'm not next to a window. It's something about seeing the world outside, but not actually being apart of it that makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I like to watch people from afar when they're smiling or laughing. I just like to know that in those moments, they're not remembering the terrible things about life--or at least not worrying about them. In those short seconds of happiness, I imagine these people are going to be okay no matter what happens! In a sense, these people are my window, and through them I see the intangible depths of the soul revealed once again
DeleteI honestly cannot think of a place where I am completely content. There are multiple times where I have felt at peace with everything around me but there is not one specific place. I can say though that the feeling of being content with the world around you in a single moment is amazing. I don't want anyone confused thinking that I have never felt completely content, I just don't have a specific place, it comes more randomly. I won't even realize it and suddenly I feel at ease and it is almost like nothing really matters anymore and I can let my guard down without fearing anyone or thing.
ReplyDeleteI understand. I think this will change the more you pay attention to yourself. Not that you don't already pay attention to yourself, but if you whole-heartedly commit to focusing on your thoughts and feelings in certain circumstances, you will learn a lot about yourself, like things you enjoy and dislike, and even some things you do by habit or when you are around certain people. You will find your comfort place when you stop looking for it and start waiting for it to reveal itself to you
DeleteContradictory to the purpose of my post, I must say I have more than one comfort place, and I am sure that I will add and subtract some as I grow older. One comfort place for me that I know will never change is when I am somewhere new and exciting. Extremely cheesy but true! I really just love the idea of foreign travel and beautiful mountains and little stores in other countries. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but you get the gist. So many places to experience and people to meet in other countries-- even states-- that I cannot think there is not a soul in this world who could be my friend!
ReplyDeleteI find myself most content when I am helping people in foreign countries. Nothing makes me happier than restoring people's hope.
ReplyDeleteI think my comfort place would be in my bed. It makes me feel safe and warm and like no one can hurt me there. I am alone and I have no one to talk to so i have no one to hurt me. It just makes me feel happy and whole.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: I realized a new comfort place of mine. Oddly enough, when I am down in my lowest of lows, I feel comforted. In those moments, I am aware of what humanity is and what it means to feel. Of course, I have these moments in my good times, too. It's just that, for some reason, whenever I am extremely down, I connect with with the emotions that reside in the figurative rock bottom of the ocean in my mind. I'm not even a swimmer
