Wanders

Ever since I was a little girl I was thrown into the outdoors with a backpack, some hiking boots and a beautiful landscape around me. There, me and my dad would walk miles, just enjoying the views, he would almost always take pictures, which must be where my passion for photography originated from, considering I am SUCH a daddy's girl. However, it was there where we would stand on top of hills, sometimes mountains and take a breath. Now that may sound really weird, but there's something amazing you get when you inhale that fresh air, it just floods your body with everything calming that nature can give you and you feel all your muscles relax. 

I guess that's why walking allows me to relax now. I use it as my way to escape, if I start stressing or panicking I go for a 'wander' with a friend. Walking through fields, breathing in the air, not actually having a destination, just literally wandering around. It calms me, fills me with everything that I need to get through whatever has made me stress. 

Everybody needs that one thing which allows them to escape reality for a bit. Whether it be delving into a new novel, writing your own story, walking miles, shopping, anything. Having that way to escape your problems, your stresses or just your surroundings for a bit, it is what will allow you the strength to smile when everything is crumbling around you. 

So please, if you are reading this, find a way to escape or if you have, leave a comment below telling us how you escape the stresses of everyday life. Don't forget to keep smiling quite simply just because you can.
