Within books. And at night, under the stars. That’s interesting, the idea about him creating Disneyland as his sort of “safe space” where he could go and feel comfortable in the world. I do notice that for myself, as the world continues to feel more crowded and chaotic and full of fakeness, there are fewer and fewer places where I feel comfortable. I do like gardens too though and nature in general. “Vitamin N” as my friend calls it.

Hi Shonda, thanks for your comment! Books were and still are one of my happy places! And they are portable, which is an added bonus. Nature is always authentic, in my opinion! :)

Good life lessons from a remarkable man. My happy place? Many. Some I can share. Some I can't. One is 'the zone'. When I'm writing and it's flowing like river.

Thanks for your comment, D.A.! And you’ve made the point that we can create our own happy places all by ourselves. Happy writing!

Too bad all things Disney have turned into a dystopian woke hell.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I hope you have a happy place of your own.
