My Other Castle: 5 minutes free writing

Greetings my lovely friends 💟. Today I will like to discuss about my castle that I live the most.
My Other Castle is not a real building, and it’s definitely not made with bricks or wood. _My other castle is a quiet place in my mind where I go when everything gets too loud for me as a student who loves to learn from life.

It’s the part of me that doesn’t panic during exams, doesn’t break when I fail, and doesn’t give up when people around me don’t understand my dreams. It’s like my personal escape room but instead of locking myself in, I find freedom there.

As someone who faces pressure from school, family, and even from myself, there are times I feel like the world is spinning too fast. Assignments pile up, expectations grow heavier, and my own doubts start shouting louder than anything else. That’s when I go to my other castle.

It’s not a place I go with my legs it’s a place I reach with my thoughts. It’s where I remind myself why I started in the first place, where I replay the moments I was proud of myself, and where I imagine the future I’m still fighting for. This castle is filled with books I haven’t read yet, ideas I’m still building, and dreams that no one else can see but me. It's my learning zone, my thinking corner, and my healing space all rolled into one. Every time life teaches me a hard lesson, I take it back to that castle, sit with it, and try to understand it better.

My other castle helps me grow, not by hiding from problems, but by giving me a safe space to face them with a stronger heart. It’s where I learn the most about myself, and the world, and that is the best kind of education I could ever get.
