Day 3: The Ultimate Hiding Spot

So I want to tell you of a few of my favorite hiding spots! My youth members and youth pastor may just love one place I am "revealing!" Well, since I've kind of "let the cat out of the bag" so to speak, here is number one!

Hiding Spot Number One

In our church I know all the best hiding spots there is to know. Of course, my youth pastor didn't believe me when I said this and I proved him wrong! At our most recent lock in, in the last round of hide and seek where the youth pastor had to find everyone, my cousin and I hid together. I only hid with her because, well, I trust her, I knew she wouldn't give up this amazing hiding spot! And I also knew it would be more fun to hide with her than to hide alone. It is the best spot in the church with no doubt. You can not find a better spot than where we hid! Anyway they looked for us for over thirty minutes. We could hear every move they made, and every word they said! I couldn't help but laugh, but we tried to stay quiet so they wouldn't hear us. Well, eventually we got tired of waiting so we made a run for it. They didn't like that and they said "you're supposed to stay where you are until you get found" and I was like "no, that's why there is a base!" I've never played hide and seek where you couldn't at least move to a different spot, let alone go to base! The whole point of the game is to hide so good you don't get found and to get to base before you get caught. Of course we weren't about to give up the best hiding spot ever! So we did what we had to do. In my opinion, I think they were just mad that they didn't ever find us. So anyway, we won! Now since I said that I was "revealing" this spot in this post here it is so youth members, Thomas...read carefully. Okay, so you go through the fellowship hall, head towards the nursery, turn left, go outside that door, turn right, run around the church five times, call one of the seekers so you can hear everything the group looking for you is saying, but you must make sure they are on your side, then go back inside the door you exited, climb in the old baptistery, then ten minutes later climb out, run down the hallway leading to the sanctuary, then go sit on a pew for promptly three minutes, when you hear the door crack open, crawl out the opposite door, run to a classroom, write on the chalkboard "hi", check and make sure the coast is clear, then go to the nursery bathroom because hardly anyone looks there, then run into the kitchen, stay for no more than thirty seconds, then safely cross over to base. Hahaha, good hiding spot huh? Yeah, um, I know you just read all that fellow youth members, but, um, I didn't do that. I made it up while typing. There is literally an amazing hiding spot in the church and NO I WILL NOT GIVE IT UP!!! (Yes this was just a prank for my youth members...especially Thomas). So sorry that I'm not gonna leak that...


Hiding Spot Number Two


When I read books, it's like an escape. So in other words i get to be someone else for a little while and experience a new adventure and hide from the reality I live in if only for a little while. But don't get me wrong. My reality isn't bad, it's just cool to experience someone else's day every now and then! (Well every and then is an under exaggeration, I read everyday! :-) )


Hiding Spot Number Three


Music! I write music, play music, listen to it. Music helps me think, and overall feel better, so another hiding place.


Lastly, Hiding Spot Number Four


Writing. Writing is my favorite hiding spot. Unlike reading a book, you can write the experiences of the character and still be able to feel them as if you were just reading it. Writing is a way of making your dreams come true in a sense. If you can't experience them in real life, that doesn't mean you can't through a character in a book or story you are writing. All the books I have written thus far (yes I have written about seven, and no, no one has read them yet) are dreams of mine that I've never experienced in real life. Sometimes, or most of the time I listen to music while writing to influence my emotions and fill my imagination. 



A hiding spot doesn't have to be a literal one, it could be somewhere in your heart that you escape to, which for me my hearts escape is writing.
