I have long had a need to have this kind of private hiding place that no one knows about and they can never find me even if they really want.
I have such an old shed thingy where I sometimes go and close myself up for a day and just enjoy being out of everything and anyone’s reach.
Sometimes it’s low key scary because let’s say something happened to me then no one would ever find out but such is life eh.
Such hiding spot is very good for my mental health as whenever pressure gets too high I just disappear.
People may not understand why or why would I do it this way but I don’t try to explain or elaborate. Obviously I pick up the phone and tell them some lie that I am shopping or whatever and will be later or something important showed up thought it would be nice if they didn’t call either.
My actual home has neither an attic or a basement, but the garage does have an attic (albeit no basement). It’s super hidden, super high up, and the only way to access it is by a ladder. I could be like “alrighty, I’m going to the Bahamas for the week” and lounge there the whole time and nobody would know the wiser, or hypothetically escape capture by hiding there (unless special agents were after me, then they’d probably find me). Not that I use it that often though; the last time I gave the garage attic a second thought, some relatives decided to squat there for a couple weeks, and I don’t even remember at what point I learned about it.
