From time to time we can feel upset or bothered . Our first instinct is to find contentment. People can find comfort in almost anything. It can be the love of your friends and family or the simpler things in life such as an object, place, person or maybe even a television show. We ache for the warmth and satisfaction of these things to feel content. During a hard time a little girl can find joy in her dolls or a little boy in his toy cars. Adults can look toward their spouse for advice or compassion.
My room. That is my comfort zone, where I can find joy and happiness. A place where I don't have to fear judgment or denial only safety. When first moving in a few years ago, I got the chance to redecorate it. I chose to go with warm and revitalizing colors, nothing too bright to give it an easeful and sheltered feel. This room affects me in a way most people will never understand.  It provides me with quiet and peacefulness. In times of unhappiness or frustration I can always rely on the thought of going home, heading to my room and listening to music until all upsetting thoughts leave my mind. The only other enjoyable place in these times would be sitting on the couch with my family. My family has been there for me ever since I was a little girl. We can all be together laughing and in those moments I forget all my problems. I find relief when my mom tells me stories of her youth or when my dad cheers me up with ridiculous stories. Even my younger brother can put a smile on my face by doing something childish or idiotic.
Comfort can mean so many different things for different people, but in the end it is a person or thing that gives us safety and relief during tough times. We can always look forward to these things to help us as silly as they may be.
