Third Place
Are you familiar with the term 'Third Place'?
A Third Place is a comfortable space that exists apart from home and work (or school).
It could be a nearby park, a favorite café, or a local library. If you have a place where you can drop by and relax whenever you have some free time, that is your Third Place.
Did you know that a hashtag campaign for <#NewLife> is currently underway?
New life often brings significant changes in environment and living space, which can lead to stress without you even realizing it.
In such times, it is important for those living a new life to quickly find their own Third Place. This is one of the survival strategies in modern times.

Third Relationships
When it comes to a Third Place, it doesn't have to be a physical location. A third community can also be considered a Third Place.
Friends connected through hobbies or fellow regulars at a favorite shop. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that these people are unrelated to home or work.
This is important because you can say things to them that you might not be able to say to family or coworkers, with whom you spend a lot of time. The lack of deep ties is actually essential for the inhabitants of a Third Place.
