Whose Happy Place? Mine

By Jaxson Kolstad

A happy place is a place you can go to and instantly feel relaxed, you’ll feel like a bag of air. My happy place is a calming sensation that instantly can make me feel better, sweep all my problems away with the brisk smell of the air. A happy place can be anything you want it to be, it could be a room full of comfort. A room that has all your memories and the only place that can supply you with the feeling of you being whisked away into happiness, slipping away into the feeling you haven’t felt in so long. 

How can you feel so happy just by being in this small space? The space of infinity, it’s an endless place for sheer happiness. Will you choose to find your happy place? You can finally feel the emotion you have been lacking, serotonin is exactly what you need. Everyone is covered with the sorrow of living. Not thinking about how things can get better. Being trapped in your head can stop you from doing what you love. From feeling what you love. No matter what it is, everyone can find their happy place. It could be your bedroom, your old playroom, the outdoors, anywhere, the possibilities are endless.

My happy place is a place I don’t visit often. I forget it exists when I get stuck in my thoughts. It’s a place that makes me feel like me once in a while, it reminds me that I’m actually human and living. I finally feel like I’m floating, I feel like anything is possible. Nothing can stop me from being me, I’ve only felt this way in my dreams but it’s better than not feeling it at all. 

I like to think of a happy place as a thought and not a place, anything can be your happy place. It could be an old memory, a stuffed animal you have had since being in the comfort of your crib. Anything can be a happy place, doesn’t even have to be a place at all. My happy place is the comfort of my dreams, I only see it in my dreams. It’s a nice comforting place, filled with all the things that make my problems disappear. Just by entering the dream, I feel like a cloud, a beautiful cloud that everyone imagines is a different picture. It could be a picture of a dragon about to eat an apple or a horse with six legs instead of four. 

My happy place is here, writing down everything I feel, things that I like. Writing is a place where I feel happy because it can explain what I’m feeling when my voice doesn’t work. I feel comfort in the writing world, I can create anything and everything. It doesn’t matter what people think or if they like it, if you like it that’s all that’s important. The comfort of writing helps me express myself in a way I could never imagine. This is my happy place. This is where my life lies.
