When I sit on my front porch with its black iron railing, I think about my childhood dream of living in Manhattan (the big city for a child born on Long Island) sitting on my tiny fire escape reading and imagining with a melting pot of people passing by below as the noises of the city in the background inspire me.

Do you have a dream place that helps you get away and escape even if you can‘t physically leave home?

Ruthiella I have a ton of dream locations. One I‘ve been thinking about lately is a basement studio apartment I had in the suburbs in my 20s. At the time, it was inconvenient because my entire social life was a train ride away in the city. But now I think how snug and cozy it was. Perfect for reading! (edited) 3y
