I love being in nature. I am passionate about the birds' songs and the smell of the trees. The fresh aroma of the earth after a rain. But, while many enjoy exploring nature with adventures, I see it as a spectacle to be appreciated with care.
Frequently, my boyfriend and I watch survival-themed series. He is really passionate about it, loves watching every technique of building improvised shelters, finding water sources, and foraging for food. I must admit I’ve come to enjoy watching them too. But that’s it. I like to watch. I admire those who have the courage and ability to survive in nature. However, this life is not for me.
The one time I decided to go on a hike, I regretted it halfway through. HAHAHHA It was only 6km, with water and food available all the time, but even so, it was very difficult for me. Every step was an absurd exhaustion, and I just kept thinking, "please, just end already." Imagine if I had to survive in the middle of nowhere, having to provide my own food through hunting, fishing, eating insects, strange animals, and still make my own shelter? I’d be completely screwed.
Maybe, in an emergency, I could survive for a few hours since I know the basics, but I know I would be in serious trouble without help.
Despite my great admiration for nature, I prefer to appreciate it in safety. I love visiting parks, being surrounded by greenery, as long as there is a bathroom nearby and a good connection to civilization. And when night falls, there’s no place I’d rather be than in the comfort of my bed, with my boyfriend and my dogs.
