Snowflake Challenge: Day 1
Day 1: In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane.
A happy place... Perhaps a quiet place? I've never had one set thing I do or place I go when I need to recharge or rest, but there's definitely a mood I try to find. It can be reached by talking to certain people who make me feel calm and content, or listening to certain songs that help me recentre myself, or taking fifteen minutes to hold one of my cats close and lean back in my chair and close my eyes.
I value quiet. I like having the space to let my thoughts roam at their own pace — and the easiest way to create that is, first, to quite literally create a quiet space by closing tabs and muting notifications and taking off headphones (or sometimes putting them on). Sometimes, I can find that sense of easy quietness while talking to someone, too; if I'm talking to someone and it feels easy and gentle and fun and relaxed, I can easily reach that same sense of calm while they speak to me on call. Sometimes I just listen to ASMR.
Sometimes while I'm home and at my computer one of my cats will jump onto me and demand cuddles. They force a little moment of happy-place-ness into the nonstop pace of being at the computer playing games or trying to keep up with social media or getting lost in too many search results to read and tasks to do.
Happy place songs would include therapy, fireworks, and lucy's music from the fairy tail soundtrack.(i won't lie, the latter started playing and i teared up haha it feels so like home.) People would include my close friends (including those in fandom). And we can't ever forget the characters that always bring me comfort from haikyuu, fairy tail, star wars, and my hero academia. Writing used to be a happy place — walking through stories of my own creation, lounging in the meadows of my mind — and slowly, bit by bit, I'm reclaiming that, too.
My happy place is somewhere gentle and calm and easy, where one can stretch out their wings and not feel resistance.
I really wasn't sure what I'd end up writing about when I saw the prompt but in hindsight, I really like it! It's so soft, and listening to the music that helps me calm down really brightened my mood by itself. ♡
