A Safe Place
Whether metaphorically or physically, we all need a home we can visit, a safe place, whenever we feel overwhelmed.
Traditionally this is our family home, where loved ones (parents, siblings) exist and will care for us without question.
Reality is often much different, and a generic safe place provided by society could be useful.
What if there was somewhere you could retreat to, at any time, and for any reason, where you would be looked after, heard, and not judged?
For many, just knowing it existed would be reassuring and lead to a more positive life.
For others, going there would be less stigmatic than a journey less well known to friends and family. Simply saying you went to your safe spot would be words enough.
We are all society, it cannot be otherwise. And we need to care for each other. Such a default retreat should be available for all. And we definitely have the power to make it happen.
