Chapter 18 - Safe Place

I have always liked small boxes. I never know what to put in them, but I have always liked them. I would love to put precious little treasures in them, however I don't really have anything like that. 

I think that maybe the little boxes are the true precious treasures. They try so hard to keep other little things safe, and give a warm environment for them.

My like for small boxes may be why I have always liked small safe places that only I know of. Inside it, I could do as I like and be as I like. Inside it, I am a precious treasure, a warm and safe treasure. It feels kind like time never begins nor ends. Only warmth is there, a welcoming embrace as well.

Photos could also be called that. Little bubbles that never change, I think it would be easy to find comfort in that. Familiarity breeds comfort, after all. 

However, you may find that your views and emotions change as you grow older. If you look at a photo from years ago, you might even feel nostalgic. Though, maybe the joyous emotions won't change, but I hope that sad ones do.

I have always wondered why people have always disliked being in a supposed golden cage, is it because they yearn for freedom? But what if they learn that the cage was far kinder and more forgiving then their supposed freedom? Well, I think that everyone has their own sense of freedom. To me, maybe that golden cage is freedom. While to them, it is nothing but the tearing of wings. 

You see, I fear change. Change could be good and bad, but it is necessary. However, even so, I still fear it. That may be as to why I like the idea of the golden cage. 

Or maybe, I see the golden cage as my safe place. Never wanting out of it. I guess you could tie it all back to my insecurities. Insecurity in self, and of the people and places around me.

Because of this, I have always wished to be held in a small, warm and comfortable box. Although probably impossible, I still wish to find a safe place.

So, in writing, I wish to give others a safe place to. 

Whether that be by poem form or in writing small stories.
