Or to put it another way: if people ask you touch grass, where would you go?
There’s an old abandoned car dealerships close by I go there, if I’m angry I can smash old rusty cars, if I’m sad I can cry in a small super insulated cell in the basement, probably used to paint small stuff, if I want to feel better I can climb the roof, the owner was living in the house over the shop before getting evicted for fraudulence business, now it’s empty and really quiet, from the very top I can scout all the Mountains and lakes in my area, its one of the tallest building around, And the view is Heart warming, I might not have had anyone loving me for 23 years but this place pays for it, thers a busy road nearby and that always makes me realize that all those assholes I spent the day trying to comprehend and tollerate are indistinguishable from ants roaming the world on a timer like everyone else.
It sounds like a quiet yet majestic place to gain some perspective
Yeah it is I lived close by for such a long time before discovering it beautiful things really are just in front of you eyes
amen
Lmao
Kayaking. There is way less people in water than in the ground. My city is a small metropolis, bustling with people, yet on the river I can still find space to think and wildlife to observe. i can find small patch ch of landing where no one ever goes to and set my folding chair for a snack and sketch some doodle.
I used to live close to a major river, and one of my fondest memories is going kayaking with my ex together along that river. My heart aches thinking about it
There is a strip of grass beside the driveway to my complex’s parking structure with one tree in it.
That tree and the surrounding grass has at LEAST five species of moss living on it, so I just slow down on my walk to the car and appreciate those diverse, weird little plants
I like that, that’s cute
oh wow I see what you mean - that is a lush micro jungle down there!
I’m telling you, spend a few days actually looking for and actually SEEING moss, it’ll blow your mind
I went to Wales recently (rains often there), and I noticed that the forest undergrowth was so green with what was likely different types of moss. It really did feel quite special
My backyard is nice. It’s not big, it’s not fancy, but there’s green grass and trees against a blue sky and that’s usually all it takes for me to remember the good stuff
Well it’s not terribly secret, but I just chill in my backyard with a book and my dogs, on my hammock.
There is a rose garden along my walk to the store that I enjoy a lot. Sometime soon I will volunteer to help prune them.
I volunteer at my local nature reserve, and it’s pretty amazing how much work goes into keeping a park functional. The people are really nice and friendly too
