My Fortress of Solitude

Everyone has that one special place where they go to escape the stresses of their lives. They go to this place to reflect on whatever they want, whether it's school, sports, family, pudding, whatever. For me, that place is the bathroom.
There's always something special about going to this magical place. I sit on the toilet and I take a dump (which to me symbolizes getting rid of all the bad things plaguing your body) and after releasing all that pressure, I feel a sudden sense of relief and comfort. You ever get that feeling after dropping a bombshell? Like, you feel so good that you don't even get off the toilet right away. I sit there for about ten to twenty minutes and reflect on everything going on in my life. You have so much privacy that you can do pretty much whatever you want; no one's going to disturb you. The same applies to me when I take a shower or brush my teeth. I feel a sense of cleanliness and I get the urge to start thinking about life to sort things out.
By the time I step out of the bathroom, I feel like a new person, ready to take on the world again. Guys would probably understand where I'm coming from a bit more. Regardless, I'm sure you all have that one special place where you just like to "get away from it all." As stupid as it sounds the restroom is my place and I'm sure for other guys it might be the same place. I mean, isnt there some famous sculpture of a guy sitting on the toilet in a thinking position? (I think he's called The Thinker). Okay, that's enough for this week. I hope you enjoyed reading this. Peace.

this was mad funny. I get what you mean about the restroom as your place of relief. But for me its more of playing sports. But i guess it has the same take. Like you forget about all your problems

i know the feeling of privacy and tranquility of being in the bathroom. I might not do what you do in the bathroom in your spear time, but I know the feeling.
