Rakuchin

Rakuchin is the japanese word for that which is mellow.

That is my comfort zone... 

This is mostly everywhere, for I carry around this calm with me.

I step outside my comfort zone when I go out on a limb and place my trust with another person. In relationships when I display my feelings and hope they are returned, that is the only time I am ever truly out of my comfort zone and in such a case, I am very near my danger zone. I will not tell the full story, but in essence I was asked out by a person I liked very much and (even after agreeing to go out with them) nearly broke up with them a few weeks later, purely to avoid any future heart-break. I was so near danger zone, having to trust another person not to toss me aside, that I nearly risked my own happiness to get back in my comfort zone.

I am a very guarded person.

I keep my feelings hidden.

Although I am not afraid to take risks of many kinds, it is extremely rare that you will ever see me cry.

Although I enjoy the company of other people immensely, my safest comfort zone,

 is alone.
