Life is full of uncertainties and struggles. One moment, you are enjoying the best time of your life with friends, the next moment, you are worrying about bills to pay. One moment, you feel on top of the world, you feel free and unstoppable and the next moment, something ruins your day. Life will always throw challenges at you and the saddest part is that we never know when these challenges will hit us. I mean, if life could give us a warning, let’s say two weeks in advance, then we would have had enough time to prepare. Unfortunately, that is not the case. What do you do when you are down? What do you do when life throws stones at you and makes you feel weak. For some, what they do is to share their problems with friends while others prefer other methods such as going to places that bring them comfort. As long as it works for you, go for it.
For this week’s India United prompt, the community asks us to share our honest opinions on this topic: A place that brings you comfort. What is that one place that brings you comfort when you feel down? For some, especially extroverts and those who love parties, going to a clubhouse or a house party will clear that heads
For people like that, all they need to do is mingle with friends and clear their heads. Well, my case is different. When it comes to places that bring me comfort, the first place that comes to my head is my room. I know this might sound funny or too simple, but it is actually true. My room brings me comfort. I can’t seem to place my head around what exactly brings me comfort in my room. Is it my bed and how soft it is? Is it that whenever I step into my room, I see my collection of sneakers? My wardrobe or just the overall setting of the whole room?
During my final year in the university, I was always going to school. Sometimes after class, I would have a long meeting with my project supervisor. I remember the first time I submitted my project proposal to my supervisor. We had just finished a class with a lecturer when my project supervisor called us to her office for a meeting. It was barely afternoon at the time. She checked our proposals and rejected everything. Meaning, we had to do it all over again. I felt sad and disappointed. I got home that day, jumped on my dad and slept off. When I woke up, I felt better and ready to work. I have noticed that when I am sad or down, I rarely want to hang out with friends. I just want to go to my room and sleep. I have experienced this many times.
Of course, fun places also bring me comfort. About two months ago, I visited the beach for the first time. That day, when I was there, I forgot all about my worries. I couldn’t even force a frown if I wanted to. My face blossomed with genuine smiles. So, yes, I guess the beach is another place that brings me comfort.
