When do you feel most at peace?

[RobynHood]

I don't really know what I want out of life. But I know I'm in serenity when I'm driving at night with someone in the passenger seat, or being driven by someone, through empty streets. Little things like holding hands while driving and listening to music makes me look forward to tomorrow. I can't really think of anything else at the moment that makes me feel more alive, perhaps I haven't experienced that much yet. I don't know, but being in a car with someone you like is such a personal experience. Thinking back to every time I held hands with a beautiful girl in a car, I remember just feeling like I was right for the first time. I would really love if someone I admired took me for a ride right now.

But it reminds me of this old poem from a few years ago: You Are Jeff by Richard Siken

"You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won't tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you've done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you're tired. You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and you're trying not to tell him that you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you didn't even have a name for."

The author really describes the feeling well. Anyway. When do you feel most at peace?

I feel most at peace at night, just laying on my bed. My mind isn't going a million miles an hour with so many thoughts. It's nice.

 

[TiredBipolar]

Tbh mostly only when I sleep these days brother... Much love, peace.

 

[Kuolema]

I guess I felt most at peace when I used to go for walks in the middle of the night. Empty streets make me feel warm inside.

Love that too I actually came back half an hour ago from an hour long walk (although just walked at a football field recording a vlog) it´s so nice and quiet in the night the world is just paused for a moment and the cool night air is so refreshing and I love the beauty, nostalgia and wonder of the star clear sky the nights where they are visable.

I feel more at peace when people are sleeping. Late at night or early in the morning. I love Sunday mornings so much, empty streets and a special atmosphere, it's the only time I can still enjoy being in a city

 

[woxihuanni]

Nothing. Not that nothing can or did, nothing does. I might feel that once I am holding a bottle of poison, and all that is necessary to make it work.

 

[Bathsheba]

When I'm stroking my cat and she's purring. She looks so blissful like she hasn't a care in the world and that makes me feel peaceful.

 

[Rachel74]

When I am asleep, when I am with my dogs and reading.

 

[drunk trey]

I feel most at peace wen it rains and im in bed

 

[ManWithNoName]

Sometimes the most mundane activity can be tonic - for example, a simple rubber band powered model airplane can take one's mind off shit - assuming one enjoys model airplanes, but with the accompanying music in this presentation, I swear that it feels like time stops for 4 and a half minutes:

 

[seekingoblivion]

Only when I'm asleep these days. The only way I feel peace is when I don't feel anything at all.

 

[Soulless_Angel]

when there is no sound in the world but music, when the house falls silent, when the only sounds of life are breaths through the night. when music breaks through the silence, just calm, dark, warmth, nothingness but losing myself in the sound of epic country/rock (Jennymusic on you tube is my go to playlist)

 

[Squiddy]

When I'm sleep

 

[TiredOfLife95]

In my comfy bed

 

[Lethe]

When I'm playing a Zelda game, late at night when no one will bother me.

At night in bed, with my cats. I love to listen to creepypastas and music while drifting into sleep.

 

[alexithymia]

In bed at night.

I've always felt safest in my home at night. It's like the darkness outside is a massive blanket. I feel worse during the day. I spent most of my days waiting for it to be night again.

 

[magick'sgone]

Out in the forest

 

[Mr2005]

I'd say I'm the most content when I'm listening to Vangelis or I'm outside on a nice day and no ones around

 

[mathieu]

I feel most at peace when I'm drifting off to sleep.

 

[alexithymia]

I feel most at peace when I'm drifting off to sleep.

I wonder if that's what death feels like... at least the peaceful kind.

 

[Nem]

I feel most at peace thinking about death
Peace/hugs

 

[Élégie]

Riding my bike or hiking in the woods... also when I'm asleep.

 

[brain problems]

Not necessarily "at peace" though whenever I really get into a book, movie, video game ect. I can tune out from reality and live in another universe for awhile. Not having to hear my own thoughts is the best! ^o^/

 

[LastFlowers]

When thinking about catching the bus.

 

[IsadoraBeauxdraps]

When I sleep

 

[Dartz]

High as hell, home alone, with the speakers turned up

 

[Susannah]

Music and dancing is my favorite therapy. I love to "escape" into the forest, on my own, or with my dog. I also love the sun, but living in a cold country, I read/watch lots of travelling stuff, and dream away.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Sometimes listening to opera can also stop time:
