The majority of the folks in my immediate vicinity dislike being alone. They may enjoy silence, but it is only in their cozy room, where they are safe from outside intrusion. Yes, many individuals can still go for a walk on a deserted street or beside a peaceful river. When I spend more time on activities and nights, I usually do it at a somewhat higher level.
Even when I'm in completely new and unknown places, I have a lot of optimism. I can stop wherever I want with a tent and some basic equipment to keep warm and light. Mountain peaks, hills, cliffs, waterfalls, and unpopulated beaches are among my favorite deserted and tranquil spots. When I was alone, the blackness that engulfed the space surrounding me was fascinating. It's not that I'm not terrified; I just want to experience dread and see how it evolves.
Perhaps I'll use a recent example to help me visualize things more clearly. On January 2, 2022, I was flying to Da Lat, Vietnam, to celebrate the New Year with a buddy. Instead of joining in the fun with my city pals, I drove out of the suburbs and discovered the mountainous terrain that I had designated on GoogleMaps. I went in the early afternoon and chose a decent low hill entirely based on my feelings. Not knowing where to go or how to get there,i arked my car on the side of the road, grabbed my rucksack, and began climbing.
The sensation of being immersed in a strange environment excites me greatly. Make friends with the pine trees as they sing sweet melodies and the parched, burning grass changes color in the sunlight. I pick a decent place that I enjoy and pitch the tent there. When all you need is bread and fruit, don't waste too much time eating. I spend the majority of my time strolling around the hill with the trees or swinging in the hammock listening to the wind and watching the sunset.
I don't light a fire or a lamp when it gets dark. I'm not concerned about wildlife; nevertheless, heavy winds and parched grass increase the possibility of bushfires, which I don't want to happen. I didn't turn on the lights because I didn't want the town at the foot of the mountain to notice, and a portion of the light reflected in the distance sufficed. I have the impression of being a wolf in the night, watching the city.
The fears I've realized are in my head, where I'm thinking and imagining sounds and images generated by the environment. Like the sound of branches breaking or leaves rustling in the wind. When I'm not terrified, the darkness improves my vision, and when I'm not scared, I'm in the mood to enjoy and relax.
Getting up in the morning in the golden sunlight is extremely beneficial to one's mental health. If one examines closely, the hue of the trees, foliage, and grass is radically different from that of the afternoon. Its hues are warmer and more vibrant. It's fantastic that that lovely countryside is all mine.
It's a little selfish to enjoy exclusivity, but it helps me connect with nature, which compensates for the lack of social interaction. I'm more in tune with my inner self. Love for diversity isn't just for people; it's also for nature and the soul.
Oh, dating oneself isn't all that exciting, is it?
