My Meaningful Place
The place where I find the most meaning is at my cabin, which is in a small town in Wisconsin. My cabin is on Point Lake, and it is called Point Lake because it is no bigger than a point on the map. The area around my cabin is pretty much all woods, except for the lake, a few other houses and some roads. As for my cabin, well it’s not really a cabin. It is actually the house where my mom grew up, but it has been used as a cabin ever since I was a little kid. My cabin has two floors to it, a deck, a bench swing, and there is a dock down at the lake. In the living room there is a TV, a fire place that is never used, and I think about a 30 year old, orange, shag carpet. Upstairs there are a couple of bedrooms and a player piano that always has a couple of keys out of tune. And then throughout the house there are pictures of my family, most of them really old pictures which is nice because I am the youngest in my family and some of my family died before I could remember them. So in that respect this house is so meaningful to me because it reminds me of my family. However, the reason why I picked this place as the most meaningful to me is not because of the house or anything in the house but rather the lake. The lake is really small, but that’s why I like it so much. It is so small that the only people who know where the lake is are those who live on it. At night the lake gets so still that it is like glass, and then when I look up I can see more stars then I’ve ever seemed before. It makes you feel so small and secluded where you can just forget about everything that’s going on in your life. It’s the place where I go to get away from things, which is the big reason why my cabin is such a meaningful place to me.
