In the Closet

I'm not sure when we started associating the phrases "in the closet" or "out of the closet" with homosexuality. When I say I'm "in the closet," I am literally in my closet. Walk-in closets are one of the greatest ideas of our time. Mine has a packing table and lots of space. Many days, it's my favorite room. Sometimes, I drag a chair in there just to think.

When the husband and I remodeled 10 years ago, I mapped it out. This is mine! He's encroached on the territory a tad bit but I always remind him that I'm not very good at sharing things.

Many years ago, a girlfriend was going through a bad situation with her husband. She called me from her closet.

If you can't find me, I'm hiding from the oldies, hiding from the world. I'm in my closet.
