Walking close to nature for a quick catch up

I never regret it.

It’s still quite hard for me to walk consistently even when I’m in such an environment. Putting on my shoes never feels easier. I tried to find the reasons but it might be only because I’m not disciplined enough. I often forget that moving my body will affect my mental state as well. But when I remember that, I decide to leave the house and go out there, walking close to nature for a quick catch up.

Catching up with other living-creatures, catching up with a vast sky that I take for granted, and catching up with myself along the way. I usually wear my headset, but sometimes that doesn’t work to distract me from my own thoughts. Sometimes I listen to music because I don’t want to think about the things that I avoiding. But sometimes that doesn’t happen. The music was just a background, and I wandered the street as my mind also wandered.

I think walking close to nature helps me more appreciate things I used to take for granted. Seeing other living-creatures being as amazing as they are—the birds chirping beautifully, insects flying freely, and the plants that still growing out of nowhere. Why can’t I do the same? Not trying so hard and just be? Is it even possible for us as a human to just be, just like them?

I’ve always appreciate being close to nature and observing it in my own way. But I still don’t understand why it is difficult for me to do it consistently. In fact, I never regret it after I taking a walk. I feel the enjoyment, refreshment, and slightly proud of myself. I hope I can find the will to do it more, so that I can be proud of myself even for the smallest thing I do.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy your walks too :)
