Write about a secret place you had growing up — a hideout, fort, or special corner.

Secret places in childhood often felt magical because they belonged entirely to you. Whether it was a fort, a tree, a closet corner, or a spot no one else paid attention to, these spaces offered privacy, imagination, and a sense of control in a world largely run by adults. They were places to think, play, or simply be without interruption.

This prompt invites you to revisit that hidden place and what it meant to you. Consider where it was, how you found it, and what you did there. Reflecting on this space can reveal how you learned to seek solitude, safety, or creativity — and how those early instincts may still shape the way you create refuge for yourself today.
