Hello Hive and Happy Holidays!
During this season we should think about things that make us happy.
One of the things that make me truly happy is hiking.
I bloody love hiking.
No signal, no people (except your fellowship) no noise pollution, just nature.
Random rabbit here and there, tiny bird giving you a heart attack when it flys off a tree and despite it's size, it sounds like a damn bear.
You know, the joy.
I am super lucky to live maybe 30-40min from Peak District!
West Yorkshire is like my favourite place in the whole world, call me small minded but it really brings the happiness.
Also whenever I take a picture in Peak District it looks like Windows XP desktop picture 😅😅 Love it, brings childhood memories!
There are many places in Yorkshire that I love, many places that I have so many good memories with.
Especially the Cow and Calf in Ilkley!
My best friend visited me all the way from Bristol and I said we are going hiking because it's beautiful here and he laughed at me. Apparently hiking is for old boring people.
Managed to convince him, under one condition; if he doesn't like it, we coming back.
However, when we got there he was already super hyped because 'omg it's so greeeeeen' so I felt like an absolute winner 😂
I can sum up his experience using just one picture :
Now, every year we are going hiking, this year we went to Wales but I will tell that story one day 😅😅
Hiking is something that I love, it makes me feel alive but unfortunately in my case it doesn't come pain free.
I suffer with a few medical conditions and one of them is fibromyalgia.
Infuriating illness that is technically invisible, unfortunately very very difficult to have.
I struggle with pain a lot, hiking makes it hella worse but it's my guilty pleasure.
I can't stop living my life just because I'm ill.
It won't go away so I may as well enjoy a little walk in the nature that is good for the soul long term, pain is mostly temporary 😊
