My Favorite Place
A Place of Peace
I relax when I'm there. I forget my problems
completely. Time stops to let me think. Every time I'm
there, I find an answer for everything. Everyone has their
favorite place. For some people, their favorite place is a
restaurant. For others their favorite place is the movie
theater, a clothing store, a park, the fair, or a theme park.
My favorite place is a place where there are not many
people. It is a lonely place. The wind caresses my skin and
the feeling lets me relax. It lets me breathe deeply and lets
me think through everything. The moonlight illuminates my
path and lets me see just where I'm stepping, so I can focus
on what I need while my tracks are imprinted in the sand.
As wet leaves caress my feet, I have a feeling of calmness.
When I look at the city full of lights, it is so far, but so
close. It is a big city full of people.
I think that my problems do not matter. I think there are
people in worse situations than me. This is when my
problems magically disappear. I know I will find solution
to each of my problems, but sometimes the problems stay in
my head until the next time I return to this magical place.
The waves have their own music, which completely calms
my spirit. I sit on the sand and watch the stars, I think of
how small I am in a big world. My hands touch the wet
sand helping to me to relax while I watch the calm sea and
the moonlight shining on their dark water. My favorite place
is a small beach, where I have the city behind me and the
sea in front of me. Walking along the sand makes me feel
good and lets me calm down and think about everything
around me. The beauty of the place helps me find the peace
I need and makes me turn into another person--a person full
of calm and peace.
