The outside reminding me i'm alive
being outside really makes a difference
Being inside the house has me feeling so suffocated, stuck, and overwhelmed. There is too much for me to do, and too much of everything. i'm reminded everywhere i look every time i have been hurt, and that there is a lack of a home.
But outside, i am reminded there is a whole big world, full of millions of people, and things that don't bring despair. that though my life has been confined to four walls and heartbreak for so long that as soon as i step outside, there are endless possibilities.
i am so tired of being hopeful about the same things.
Spending time outdoors has significant mental health benefits, providing a much-needed escape from daily pressures and claustrophobia of indoor life. Research shows that nature can enhance mood, reduce stress, and foster a sense of connection to the world. Engaging with the environment opens up avenues for creativity and relaxation, helping to combat feelings of suffocation and despair that can arise when confined indoors. Whether it's a walk in the park or a hike in the mountains, embracing the natural world can lead to renewed hope and perspectives. Let the vibrant colors, natural sounds, and fresh air invigorate your spirit and inspire a sense of belonging.
