When I get stressed out to the max I close my eyes and envision my "Happy Place". This is a a large open meadow, with a forest behind it, and an ocean in front of it. The meadow is full of wild flowers (Its the only time I can not be allergic to flowers!) Anyways, when i think about it, its a a nice mildly warm summer day(about 73 degrees F) with a gentle breeze. I imagine myself just laying there in the meadow, watching the bees frolic from flower to flower, hearing the birds chirp melodious songs, and staring at the big fluffy clouds in the sky pass over. The waves of the ocean strike the shore gently to produce a very soothing sound. The breeze softly blows through the trees. That place makes me happy and instantly soothes my soul.

Does anyone else have a "happy place", whether real or imaginary? Whats it like?

I have a villa with an enclosed courtyard so my cats can safely go outside. My bathroom is gigantic and is open to the sky, so birds can shit on me while I'm in the shower. :D My garden is in flower all year long.

real: playing with my new cap-guns with my dad on the beach on boxing day one year when i was a lot younger


or being in this particular restaurant in Quiberon with my girlfriend last summer, looking out over the beach and promenade, happy :)

I am on the beach, laying in the sun, watching my husband and kids play, it's pretty nice. I don't ever get a sunburn. ;)

I have many. One of them being Zilam's dorm room.

Mine's a crossroads in an enchanted forest, a place where strange and interesting people gather while traveling along the roads. My home there is a grand flet up in an ancient Oak tree. There's a lake nearby, with a large meadow between it and the crossroads. The Lake Monster is large and green and scaly but is a vegetarian.

In the winter, when the weather doesn't permit sleeping out of doors or up in the tree, I have a lovely suite of rooms in town.

i want to be in your happy place right now. personally i don't have a happy place, maybe i should get one. i use musice for the same effect though.

Sitting on a jagged rock right in front of the ocean, with waves crashing around me and ocean air filling my nose.

Real: Local pub for a few quite ones with my girlfriend.

Imaginary: Local pub for a few quite ones with Nell Mc Andrew.:D

Perfect Weather, Relaxing at beach/by thre poolside/on green grass. I'm With my friends, I know EXACTLY what to say before I say it. There are NO awkward silences. Everyone is smiling. Everyone is happy.

That, or: Singing ('Tis my passion ;) ) It's not a place. But it makes me happy. :)

In the past if I wanted to go to my happy place I would drink. Now I just sleep.

I went to Cyprus in the summer, about 40km out of Pathos. Some of the places there must have resembled Heaven in some way, I swear. It's amazing out there.

Speaking of happy times with dads... this summer I finally was able to camp with my dad after 19 yrs. It was the happiest time eever.. Being right next to the lake, cooking out, staying up late talking about BS. :)

in side my head as some one in a game i have played or some one in a movie liked

when I was on Maui, I went to Iao Valley

I just imagine myself back In Iao Valley

There's my camp site, where you could sit there and just watch nature. Very peaceful. There's the trail the goes into the woods behind my house, me likes to walk on that. Then there's them cabin we have about an hour or two away from here.. great waterfall that's only a short walk from the cabin.

And Philadelphia, of course. And I guess the museums..

I really never had some made up happy place.

WARNING: REALLY BAD PLAY ON WORDS AHEAD!

Pathos is your happy place? Isn't that I contradiction, I mean ... :confused:

It was Nationtates...

:fluffle: HARLESBURG!!! It's Lashie... i'm back... a little too late to save Lashie from destruction but back all the same...

Hmm... happy place...yea i use music... there's a song by Audio Adrenaline called "summertime" which is great... and it actually describes a place...

And i use football. Just kicking a ball around with my mates, no matter what else is going on it can all simplify down for just a little bit...

My happy place varies completely. Sometimes it's a lake district-esque hilly country, sometimes it's a tropical beach, sometimes it's foothills of a mountain range.

Everything's a huge field of numbers, all around. I think it's in hexadecimal.

My happy place is wherever I am, minus the people.com

Kalaloch Beach, Washington (http://www.fgly.cn/bbs/attachments/month_0510/Kalaloch%20Beach,%20Olympic%20National%20Park_jl0gSfBAS_cGi.jpg)

Everyone should visit there at least once. :)

My Happy Place

i tend to try and imagine a calm ocean or a beach, but after a few moments there's always a storm or a shark or some other kind of shit happening.

That's brilliant, I haven't seen that one before. :D

It relieves my stress to imagine sitting on the balcony of a palace overlooking a tree-lined road, sipping a cocktail, as a military parade files past, soldiers salute me and people cheer me. :)

Recognition from Lashie>Gravedigging

It's only been a couple of days anyway. Hardly much of a gravedig.

I threw it together about ten minutes ago :D

Well regardless, I rather happy to see this thread back from post-page-10 purgatory.

I was thinking the same, but he is obviously proud of his work.

:( I've been posting more and less relevant today.... possibly because I'm leaving tomorrow, and won't be back until Thursday. Besides I wanted to use the picture, anything even resembling a gravedig is hard to find these days.

On topic, I think Harlesburg and Kanabia just ransacked my happy place :(

Kudos for the piccy.
Check your TG's.;)

:rolleyes: Aye, but dinosaurs were also once plentiful and awesome. But I don't think they ever taught anyone to hate Victorians...

Is there actually anyone here from NSW?

You are wise with drawing things, i'm sure you can make a Dinosaur that eats Victorians...

Does anyone else have a "happy place", whether real or imaginary? Whats it like?

I do!
It's an austere building with a low ceiling but a very wide and featureless floor. The room is bounded by glass walls, affording spectacular views in all directions over wooded gorges.
But it's kind of weird because the floor slopes quite steeply. People I consider friends and role models are sometimes in the room, chatting to each other or viewing the scenery, but everyone is being careful because of the sloping floor. If you fell asleep, or tripped over, you would roll down the floor and disappear out into the gorges.

I'm pretty sure it's some ill-percieved version of the first place I was consciously happy, when I was a few months old.

I see it in dreams, and I often imagine variations on it as my ideal house.

Thanks for asking.

Look up, and you will see the truth.

Adelaide is a nice place. I was there for a few weeks, bombed out and useless on tricyclic antidepressants and totally broke. I didn't starve and almost-strangers bought me beer.

Hobart was a friendly town, too.

Can't say the same for Brisbane. Melbourne and Sydney (my home town) are such big cities that just about anything can happen, and does.

Rough guide for hobos: try to stay a kilometre or more from the city centre, and don't talk to people in a railway station.

What the hell is that?!? :eek:

A strip club where I'm the only customer.

I think i am in love.

A rolling plain of amber wheat and ample amounts of summer winds. In the center is a grassy hill with a single apple tree high above everything else. There's also a number of wolves chasing down K-Fed, and although they never catch him, it still pleases me to watch him flee like a pansy.
