Third places

I want to have a third place where I can feel safe, where I can feel welcomed, where I can feel alive, where I can utterly lose myself in my surroundings, my studies, my dreams, my musings, a place where I can look up and find that three hours have passed without me noticing, a place where I feel enriched, where I feel alive, somewhere I can go, for just a little moment, to pretend to not be myself, and also somewhere I can go to discover myself.
