Someone asked me what is my favorite safe heaven for relaxation and I replied it's my room during rainy days. Well, since chilhood I loved rainy days. Because my mother would let me skip my classes and my home tutor could not come. So, it was a fun thing for me, I really wished for rain everyday.
So, yesterday I was drenching in sweat because of the hot weather and I felt tired. But today it was the opposite I was feeling relaxed because of the rain. When I woke up today it was already lunch time, for that reason I was feeling down. Because I had a lot of work to do but I've wasted my time to sleep. So, I could not focus on anything. But after, it rained today, I felt a lot better than before.
I captured the photo.
The photo I shared is from today's when it rained. In the photo you can already see there's fog and it's already dark at 4 pm. Then I opened the window, when started to rain heavily and a cold wind entered the room.
After an hour, the rain stopped. Even though it was for a short time but that small moment made me feel much better. Like my stress was almost gone, and I finally felt relaxed after so many days. There's another valid reason I think of my room as my safe place is because it will always give me the privacy that I wanted. I need a break from everything once in a while and if I don't take s break then it makes me stressed. What I like the most about it is that in my room I don’t need to be representative or do any kind of formalities, that helps me recharge myself fully.
As I'm not an extrovert full time so quiet places are my thing, I really don't find peace in crowded places. Like it gives me anxiety. After my social battery drains, when I enter my room the feeling I get is hard to explain. In my room, I can finally be myself because it is the only place where I can fully relax without worrying about anything.
Well, everyone is different so for some people traveling might be the way for relaxation but mine is by staying at home. Because I personally think that peace can also be found in simple moments. Some might find it in crowded places and some at quiet places. So, my forever favourite safe place would be my own room.
