Rec | AFTERNOON WALKS

🍏

i was feeling so disgusting and rotten in my dark apartment, so i got outside and took a walk. i kept getting near the end of it and choosing new paths to take because i wasn't ready to go back yet. it cleared my head beautifully.

@TIMTAM right!! and today i made a point not to put headphones in, i'm trying to work on disconnecting and being more present in the world. it honestly made the walk feel even better.

Walking aimlessly

Today I went on a walk in a quiet neighbourhood that I wasn’t familiar with. It had lots of turns so I never quite knew what the next section would look like. I looked at every house and how the doors were different colours. I think I like a red door best. But yellow is good too. The sun was warm and everything felt more alive. I walked into spaces I wouldn’t usually enter and walked with desire. I used the dictation function to transcribe myself on Notes and talked about whatever was on my mind because I usually never speak on these things. I laughed at how ridiculously wrong the AI was. I walked into a little garden tucked into a corner and had brief eye contact with a handsome stranger. There was a statue of two rams butting heads and I think I’ve never seen love more romantically portrayed. After an hour I went to have ramen by myself. It was Teriyaki pulled pork and I wouldn’t order it again. Nothing beats Tonkotsu. Then I walked home

going for a walk :’)

i used to feel guilty for taking long walks in the morning bc i always felt like i placed my value in my output, & walking wasn’t something i considered “productive” :/// when i finally gave myself permission to let whatever i felt called to do be productive, the flow of creative ideas, mental soundness & nervous system regulation i felt was overwhelming. in a good way. the sun, the fresh air, the forward movement of my body, the people watching… everything fed the positive energy i seemingly kept for the rest of my day. walking is productive. so is being in the sun. so is doing nothing sometimes. i need that reminder sometimes so this post is for me too :’)
