I love nature and it's really the only time I feel at peace is away from people and in a quiet setting. I guess that's why I'm so home bound, it's safe. My T asked if I was lonely and I said no. She seemed frustrated with that but with Social Media to can talk to someone at about anytime.
Enjoy your gift of a place to go fish and shoot.

Yes, it is a gift. One for which I am very thankful. I don't go to busy crowded places (malls, large stores, etc.) as easily as I used to go. This is one place I can go and can feel at peace.
My friend is feeling stronger in many ways. Her off-grid lifestyle is very beautiful, yet also a lot of work by herself. She is often tired of the constant work now, esp no running water. I know she feels more confident in her abilities. She has to leave on a certain date, as the rental contract is not up for renewal to her. While it's been good for her in some ways, she is concerned she cannot adjust well/easily to the suburbs again. Off-grid has some major pros and cons.
Personally, I think I'd be experiencing some major anxiety about some parts of being solo in the wilderness. One never knows who is going to show up. I'd have to do it differently than she does it in order to feel safe enough to sleep. I cannot sleep now as it is.
I hope you find a fun activity you enjoy!
