Photo Friday #68

I think that everyone needs a safe space. At my university, we have the “President’s Pond.” A somber, quiet place where students can go chill when they need a breather. Unfortunately during Christmas break, the fountains are shut off. I’ve heard that hearing the sound of trickling water is soothing - honestly, it is. During my lunch break, if I have free time, I always venture over there to read a book and watch the Canadian honkers paddle around. Just remember, while some of your friends may be partying or meeting up, or you don’t want to be around your toxic family just for a minute, all you really need is a place of solitude where you can spend time with yourself, some geese, and a good book.
