Does anyone else have that? Like, you walk or cycle somewhere and the weather is nice and you just suddenly feel very calm and at peace. That's how I felt. I don't really like riding my bike (even though I'm Dutch. The irony..) so I came up with the idea to get my roller skates out of the closet and use those to get around. And that's what I did.
When I came home I sat down for a moment (and almost lost my motivation to go out) before going out on my roller skates. I had taken my camera with me because you'll never know what you'll come across.
I skated through the park and by the riverside, and sat down there. I don't know why but water has always calmed me. I could sit by the riverside for hours. Whenever me and my family went on a holiday to France I would go to creeks (if there were any nearby the camping area) and just sit there. Or just sit on a large rock that was in the creek, with my feet in the water. I would just sit there and listen to the water. I think the longest I've been doing that was about two hours in row (my parents thought I had walked away and got lost).
While I sat at the riverside I just realised that I should go out more often. I'm always inside my house, in my room, on my laptop. But whenever I go outside and do these things I just feel so much better afterwards. I've always been someone who can appreciate the little things in life. For example: last summer I had a summer job as a pool supervisor / gatekeeper at a camping area. While I was at the gate I saw a squirrel quickly running past, and it basically made my day.
I hope I will be going out more, because I've said that many times and never did it. But now I just feel like maybe I can keep up to that late years resolution. Maybe..
