My safe haven for relaxation is really accessible and it comes up every day or should i say midnight, it would simply require bringing out a mat or a beach chair and sitting outside at night especially after it rains. No fancy destination, no expensive getaway that i have to drive to, just the quiet atmosphere, and my thoughts. Most people would generally think relaxation has to involve going somewhere luxurious or doing something exciting, but for me that peace can be found in the simplest moments. During the rainy season especially, the environment feels so cool and peaceful at the same time. The smell of wet earth, the cool breeze is next to none.
What makes it even better for me is the silence, im someone who generally likes my own space and more often than not i like being alone. So the night is the only time that i can get to be by my lone self without any distractions. No noise, no distractions, Just sitting outside gives me time to breathe properly and clear my head. Sometimes I don’t even think about anything serious, I just watch the sky slowly darken while enjoying the cool atmosphere or i can just be doom scrolling through my phone. Other times, it becomes a moment of reflection where ideas come naturally and my mind feels more open and creative.
I think many people underestimate how healing solitude can be. The rainy season makes this experience even more comforting because the weather itself encourages stillness. Unlike the harsh heat that can make sitting outside uncomfortable, the coolness of the rain creates the perfect environment to relax without stress. A simple mat or chair suddenly becomes the best seat in the world.
For me, that is my safe haven, those quiet moments outside where the world becomes calm, the air feels fresh, and I can simply exist without distractions. It may seem simple to others, but sometimes the simplest forms of peace are the most genuine ones. I cant even wait to get married and share this moment with my significant other, im sure it'd be even more special. Lol!!
