Reconnecting with nature. Walking, hiking, biking (even driving sometimes) in huge landscapes, where all our collective achievements (that I’m vicariously proud of) and my individual pains melt into the sheer scale of mother-nature, reminding that she is the spring and the ocean of all life, and all of our imaginary importance comes and goes with us. She, on the other hand, always has been and always will be, and we‘re all just some of her fleeting thoughts frozen briefly in time. We are not special. We are not apart of Nature. We are but a part of Nature. Sadly, it seems were losing that part at a high rate.

Try to pick up the habit of taking walks around local parks, forests (where you feel like it’s safe) or if it is a possibility go on hikings. And this advice is particularly special for you, as a fellow artist I have this theory that we have this ability of finding beauty in everything, even in the things we might not even like. And most definitely I’m sure you’ll find yourself amazed by the things you’ll find by looking at your surroundings with calm and attention. There is no better way to feel alive than by feeling amazed, feeling wonder. It makes me, the world and my problems feel insignificant against the beauty of it.

The secret is truly going on walks out in nature. don’t bring your headphones, all you will need is yourself. I started to get really bad anxiety attacks, and found out that nature seems to ground me and allows me to think rationally. Not only that, but nature has this way of helping me to process my day or process my issues head on instead of ignoring them and acting like they don’t exist. I no longer fret about my job, bills or relationships, even though I am still struggling in all three. Right now, you could be putting all of your time and energy into other things that are not you. Be selfish, nurture yourself, drink water, take a walk on a hiking trail or a bike greenway for however long. On harder days, I like to go deep into the trail and sit in silence, listening to the birds chatter and the squirrels chase each other. Once you give nature time, nature gives time back. You will get through this. ❤️

This is my little spoiled goognik (made-up word meaning a goofy, cute troublemaker) being a loaf. Best thing about her is mental health support, and another soul whose existence gives more colour to my own.

Waking up to my little cat cuddling up next to or on top of me is one of the best feelings in the world. It reminds me that beautiful and serene moments are always around us, we just need to be a bit more still, so that they can nest besides (or on top of) us.

“M&M” -> Eminem
Probably not the coolest out there, but definitely a good one. Would be curious to know if more people around the world now know about Eminem rather than M&Ms? 🤔
