WTTQ Late-Night Whisperline: “Am I Too Old to Hide Under the Bed?”

Short answer:
No.
You are not too old.
You are exactly the right age to hide under the bed.

The Probes at Area 52

You might be:
a. Hiding from ghosts (real or emotional)
b. Escaping the noise of a too-bright world
c. Looking for the self you dropped back in 2007
d. Curling up with a flashlight and a paperback
e. Chuckling with someone who also needed to vanish for a bit

Rachel hid there last Thursday with a bottle of elderflower soda and a zine about love spells.
Dandy streams from under his futon when his existential dread kicks in.
Even Anjelikka once sketched for three hours under the gallery platform just to not be seen.

Devon butchering songs

Devon went there after he sang at the SL22B because he said he first logged on in 2007

To hide is not weakness.
It is a ritual.
It is recalibration.
It is telling the world, “Not right now.”

And under the bed?
Time moves differently there.
Gentler.
Kinder.

WTTQ Closing Note:
Next time you crawl under the bed, bring a snack, a journal, and maybe a pillow.
We’ll be broadcasting through the dust motes and from Area 52 with the aliens.

You’re safe.
You’re still you.
And no one will make you come out before you’re ready.
