My secret hiding place isn't really a place at all. You can't get to it by plane, car or bus. You can't even walk there! That's because my favorite retreat is a state of mind! Whenever I feel that I want to get away from it all, I don't really have to go anyplace. I just stay where I am and sort of turn myself into a time machine, and BOING! - I'm wherever I want to be in no time flat!

I guess I do daydream a lot, and the great thing about daydreams is that they can take you anywhere you want to go! They can even make you anything you want to be! A daydream isn't really a hide-out, but I don't think it's a cop-out either - although I admit that a daydream is an escape from reality, even if only for a little while. But I think it's a good idea for everyone to let their imaginations take them away from their problems - as long as they are prepared to come back from their dream world and face the situation. I know it helps me to escape into daydreams whenever I'm feeling down - and it sure does give me a chance to clear my mind, let things cool off and then make a much more intelligent decision. Why don't you try it sometime?
