Spending time outside

This is a picture I took when going on a walk during the fall here up at Keene

Being outside is a sense of clarity and peace for my soul. I struggle with depression and anxiety which makes it hard for me to live like everyone else, so I have found it helps me to be outside with the nature. Although I struggle sometimes to get out of bed and push myself out of my comfort zone, I try my best to spend the most time I can connecting with the Earth and its beauty. I grew up outside most of my life. My mom loved to hike, and we had a cat that loved to be outside also. I connect being outside to peace because that is where I really can feel alive and free. I struggled through my teenage years with the constant feeling of being trapped so when I went outside whether it was by myself or with friends it gave me that freedom feeling.
