They say that there is a beautiful place no one else but yourself can find or be inside. In this place, no one can touch you, no one can tell you what you know is right or wrong, no one can hurt you.


       The walls are yours to make your own, of finest gold, to make yourself believe you are or might be worth more than in reality you truly are, or of solid cement, to keep out all that wishes to harm you or to keep out feelings you do not wish to have anymore. Feelings that betrayed you, people that betrayed you.

   The floors are solid in almost all of these places, a firm foundation is hard to find anymore in the real world, people will make a floor as sturdy as possible, unless you might be slightly masochistic. In that case the floorboards bend upwards, are cracked and stained, there are words of utter dispair carved into it's mohagany as a daily reminder of hurt and pains they felt in this place where people are supposed to go to forget such things. It is really up to you.

   Objects of your every wish fill it, eveything you ever wanted yours without cost furnish your world. A childhood home once gone now yours again, items burned or stolen can no longer be destroyed, for no one can enter without out your consent, and neither can anyone exit unless you wish it to be.

   The windows are mostly blocked out save for a few who find a view to be calming. But really, who wants to see the outside world you wanted so hard to forget? Boards, bars, sometimes just walls themselves replace the holes that once respresented escape in reality. That's an odd concept, isn't it? A place where confinement is so much sweeter than freedom. That is why most choose to board the door as well. Freedom means close to the dust of the earth there.  

      In this room, this world of your own, most begin alone, because what is a santucary without peace? But soon,as reailty bore to them people they could not forget but had lost, these places had filled their world with faces no longer seen in reality. A lover you had lost for good by the cold hands of death, now you could hold, and their bodies would no longer belong to the earth but to you. Or just someone you loved but they did not return your warmth. In a world of your own, though, they did return your love. And in this place, they will not ever think to leave you. Children you have lost, parents, siblings, friends--unfairness goes away completely--They are everthing you remember along with everything you wanted them to be.  
    
    There is no such thing as lonliness there. What is more beautiful than that?


   There is no catch, in fact you have made this place already. You run to it, escape into it more often then you even realize. You have already made the walls, set down the floors, more than likely covered the curtains and door, and have filled it with things the world has denied you.


   This place you often call your "comfort zone". When the world is unfair, when you are hurt, this is where you go. Sad, isn't it, that is it only in your mind.


                Or is it?



What if it were possible to go here, and everything you have been told can be a living breathing reality. If you want it, it can be yours, no catches and the promise of a real escape. You are the ruler, you may leave or come back whenever you wish. This promise mearly ensures that your very own "Comfort Zone" is just as real as it is here, right now, wherever your life is hitting you most can be healed, if even for a moment every angry fist or word, every single tear is gone.





    You. Sitting there reading my words, does it not sound more wonderful than anything?






       Tell me, what does your Comfort Zone look like, feel like, is it everything you ever wanted and more? Is it beautiful? Do you have everything you could ever want there?    



      Tell me how happy you are in your Comfot Zone. What is not there, what is there?

      Now there is finally peace, and a real place to find it.

   

           How long do you plan on staying, friend?
Tell me, how are you liking your


"Comfort Zone"?

What is in it? What is not?



Tell me how you feel about a place that used to be just in your mind, becoming a physical reality?





All I want to hear is how you feel about this now real place and maybe if you would ever leave it?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this experiment I mearly want your feedback. If I get enough thoughts, I can see if I can type up results. It's just something that I woke up and began to write. Inspiriation can hit you at the oddest times, but this concept really intruged me.

I hope you think about this at least, it really made me think about myself when I made up the concept.

Eternally fluctuating.

Mercurial.

I would draw it, but it would probably change again before I ever finished.
