"For me, when I stay beside my closed ones, I feel the most safety. They are my family, my friends or my ex-lovers. I can always entertain myself and sometimes I’m afraid of humans but I also know that life is full of paradoxes - I always need people by my side to comfort the inner child in me.
The safety happens when I’m with them, I can be myself even when I expose my ugliest parts. Sometimes I just sit beside them and don’t need to say anything, each one does their own things but still feel comfortably safe.
I remember one time, my close friend “visited” me and all she did was sleeping on my bed. I was sitting next to her and doing my works. She slept for around one hour then woke up and came home. This is the typical example of safety that means to me.
Another situation, when I was on a boat with my ex-boyfriend in the middle of a wild lake. We were enjoying rowing when the weather was beautiful. Suddenly a heavy rain fell down with gusty winds, we could hardly see what was infront of us. We were terrified. That was when I felt my safety was being threatened. However, as I mentioned above, I had him by my side so at the same time, I felt safe.
What about you? Looking forward to your stories."

"I started a quite hard week thinking about family, which led me to recollect how I would normally run back to my mom whenever something was wrong. I remember I used to lay my head on her lap, and she would caress my hair, while reminding me how strong, intelligent or a good person I am. I always felt a huge connection towards her, and she was my safe place.
By Tuesday, I was already feeling a bit lonely. We call everyday but it does not feel the same. As the week passed, I kept feeling even worst, until Friday came by. That is when I realized what safety really means to me: Solace.
My boyfriend always comes to visit me on weekends. His mere presence comforts me. I feel as if nothing wrong could ever happen, and if it was to happen, he would be there for me, and everything would be alright. My mind instantly goes back to the sweet voice of my mom, and how she made me feel at ease.
With this image, I attempt to show the feeling of alleviation and safety that the people around me, like my parents or my boyfriend give me. Almost as if going back to my childhood when it felt as if my mom was a heroine and she could make the evil and the pain go away...
As you can see, our concepts are quite similar!
Hope to hear from you soon."
