Non-Rec: Finding My Happy Place

[isabellerecs]

Day 1 - Fandom Snowflake Challenge

 

In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane.

 

Gah! I'm so excited to be getting started with this! *deep calming breaths* Okay, my happy place will probably come as no surprise but the thing that picks me up when I'm down, calms me when I'm agitated and makes me feel at peace with the world is reading. Or more specifically reading fanfiction. I started recommending fanfiction, yes, to tell others about great stories and to give back to fandom but it was also in no small way so that I could keep track of the good stuff and easily find it when my mood called for it.

 

So this is a standing THANK YOU! to all the fanfiction writers who have, are, and will contribute to my Happy Place! I love all that you do, and from the very depths of my heart, I thank you for all comfort, relaxation, and joy that you have given me all these years! I hope that you are blessed in this New Year an always!

I have been out of fandom and fic for so long but it's this wonderful and magical device that lets everything else fade away. This year I found myself just reading like crazy for a few weeks when I was more stressed than usual, and my sanctuary was fic. <3

So, viva la happy place!

Viva la happy place!!! :D I hope your year is less stressful than the last. :)

You too!! I know mine'll be partly stressful because of school, but hopefully the non-academic side of my life will remain unstressful.

Here's to that! :D
