A place of safety and peace in a world of seemingly constant violence, sadness, sickness, and despair as amplified by 24/7 media. Usually a physical place such as home or church but sometimes a place created and curated in the mind, often with the help of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) triggers such as relaxation videos and soundscapes. A bubblarium can be a combination of physical place and emotional state.
The news was so troubling today that I had to turn off my phone and go outside, feel the sun on my face, and hear the birds singing just to get back to my bubblarium.
Traffic was crazy, people were rude--I'm so glad to be back to our home sweet home bubblarium.
