Somewhere only you know...

[Jrick34]

Hey guys. Do you have a place were you go in your mind to get away from reality? A place that's your own imaginary playground? A close my eyes and go there on my roughest days and believe me it works. Right now I'm in space, orbiting a blackhole....I can spend all day here.

I love it... I have a few places I go to- a beach where I lay back and the waves swish into my head and clear out the unneeded thoughts. And I have a path speckled with sunlight and shadows with a wolf ... today the trees are crashing down around me when I go in as I’m not in a good place I guess

I love the beach I have a big sunset picture in my room with waves I wake up to it and luv looking at the moon can't wait for full moon tomorror

🌌🌝

I just imagine myself playing football ⚽. Passing, shooting, running, defending. Visualising these things provides me sense of peace.

Hi I like to look out at the moon it's full Wednesday I feel at one with the universe and helps take my mind off my problems and helps look at the bigger picture how insignificant we are, and how lucky I am to be on the earth and part of the universe well that's me hope you'll look at the moon take care 🤗🌝🌌

That is my problem, stuck in a house most of the time, lack of transport, and finances to go anywhere! Early dementia creeping up on me! Trying to remember [full stop?] dream like past moments, are very rare? Stuck in a housing estate [not too bad one!] Seeing a dark night, is very rare around here, what with the latest trend [left over of the pandemic] garden solar lights🥴and the 'council's' latest idea of increasing the light from street lights! It USED to be dark and even quiet pre-pandemic around here, but no more! Maybe if I paint a constellation painting on my TV, it might help?

Mine is super nerdy and too embarrassing to get into... but I had to ask: is the title of this post a riff on the Keane song?

[Roxylox in reply to RupertBrown]

I was wondering that too, but I just associate the song with Lilly Allen

[Jrick34 in reply to RupertBrown]

Yes it is!! Love that song

[RupertBrown in reply to Jrick34]

Nice!

[Dolphin14 in reply to Jrick34]

Yes it's a great song

I sometimes think I would like to go through the wardrobe to Narnia.

[Jrick34]

Yea dark for sure

If your mind has a safe space to retreat to it can take a moment to heal and refocus. I have done the same thing more times than I can count.

[blue77moon-forest]

I go to a beautiful forest with the sun shining through the trees. There are butterflies and bunnies all around.

[Dolphin14]

I can go lots of places in my mind when I meditate. I've been doing it so long I can get somewhere and see and hear and touch etc.

I do love the ocean and early morning solo walks.

Waiting for sunrise

floating like a feather between ocean and sky.

I go to relaxing places I have been. I go back to when I was 5 years old, and my mom and dad were young and healthy and happy. We were in a small town, and I had a female German Shepard as my protector, and co babysitter.

I go back to when I was 6-18 years old. Playing hockey, cross country running and skiing, and track, and riding a dirt bike. I think about the girls I kissed. I was a really cute guy, and girls wanted to kiss me. Not meaning to boast, it was nice to have that short lived attribute.

I go back to when I was 18 and fell in love with my wife. The simple things we did . Picnics and stuff, making love 4 times a day.

I go back to when I was raising my kids. Changing diapers and just cuddling. Watching thier kid videos on the big sectional couch, over and over. After a hard 50-70 hours of work. Stealing all the family time I could, moments by moments, the reason I was put here . I go back to coaching soccer for my kids and other kids. Even though I didn’t know the first thing about soccer. But neither do 5-8 year old kids . If I didn’t coach those 20 kids would have been mixed in with teams that already had too many kids, and never got to play. I must have coached 10 teams, trying to hold down my demanding job. Tiny little kids chasing the soccer ball around.

I go back to all our family vacations. Skiing and fishing and hiking. And going to the beach, mountains or lakes and rivers.

I go back to every pet I ever had. And spend time with them again.

I go to my grandkids and help take care of them. In my mind and for real. Children have the ability to get us out of our own head. Because they need us so much we have to forget about our problems. Playing stuffed animals with my 3-4 year old granddaughter. She runs a few , and I run a few . We have our little parties. They all have different voices and a couple have English accents. A big giraffe in particular, who is trying to teach us better manners. How not to interrupt, how to be more prim and proper. Sometimes we have to remind him people get tummy aches, and noises happen. The 2 unicorns who host the party have magical powers . Uni Anna makes the popcorn. And uni Elsa gets us all flavored sparking water. They all usually have thier favorite. Then we get tired and go to bed.

I go to a lake , river or ocean.

I go visit heaven, with it’s beautiful colors and nature. And I feel unconditional love times a million. I see my grandparents and uncles and close friends. I see all my old pets . And god heard my prayers, he lets me work with the animals. Not quite sure what that means, since people and animals don’t have any needs or problems in heaven. I guess it’s just one of those make believe type jobs that rich people give thier kids . So I lay in a field, surrounded by lions and zebras and all animals. I wrestle with bears and tigers , and ride the ones who want to give a ride. I’m the animal entertainment director, with no agenda. I experience euforia with my family and friends and animals and heaven in general.

That's amazing. I miss the simpler times.
