For me its opening the apple weather app and the map in it and watching the temperatures and wind patterns all around the world
The colours are beautiful in winters
An empty, silent house. I’ve got 3 kids and love them dearly, but holy shit, I love being alone in the house when I get a chance.
I’m the same. I would like a little more me time or something to lower the stress level. If they’d clean up without me itemizing, or stop arguing over literally trivial things, or stop shouting at their friends on the mic. Ugh. I can handle some of that but it’s just too much. I need a babysitter but I stay and they go.
Complete utter silence and darkness … complete darkness
I’m not saying it as a wish for death … it was my favourite way of going to sleep when I was a kid, just complete silent darkness for a few hours to get a good night sleep.
I haven’t had it in years … wife sleeps with a nightlight and there is always a window to the street light, the hallway light or some light somewhere and its never quiet any more, some machine is running, highway noises or whatever.
As a teen, I used to just board up my room at night, even place black out curtains at night time and seal up my doorway to block out the light in the hallway. I used to find comfort in being able to ‘see’ in the dark on my own. Don’t get me wrong, I’m afraid of the dark too and if I got caught in a strange new place in complete darkness, I’d probably freak out.
Have you tried a sensory deprivation tank? Sounds right up your alley.
I do not like pure darkness.
I have mild synesthesia so I see patterns and colours when I hear noises and it’s louder in the dark. If I’m camping and there’s a sound of a stick breaking or a squirrel running by it will cause like flashes of bright colour and it keeps me awake.
Current society are losing the sense of beauty of night. The streetlights, the screens, vehicle lights, constantly stare at us. And the sounds ofc.
I remember my childhood in my grandpa’s village with such near complete silence in the dark nights, and I fall asleep anytime I recall that. Great to know I’m not the only to love them.
I love slow blinking at my cat and seeing him slow blinking back. I believe that is called a cat kiss. And I love his little purrs…
One of my cats won’t do it back but he’ll shove the top of his head in my mouth because he loves head kisses.
Dark bedroom, cats are put to bed downstairs (they chew feet so they can’t stay in the room with us), I put on some chill indie coffee house playlist and light some nag champa incense, and then I just lay there, staring at the ceiling. I don’t reflect on the past or ponder on the future, I just listen to the music, the distant trains and traffic, the rain, the wind, the leaves falling on the metal roof.
It’s my perfect beautifully braindead time. I can’t wait for legalization in our state, that’s the only missing component.
Feeling sad, When I am sad I don’t feel anxious. I know how to deal with sadness. It is temporary feeling. It reminds me of all the work that I put in myself.
This is beautiful
Maps. I like to explore how to navigate places that I haven’t been yet. I’ll go on Google Street view and look around the neighborhood.
Being in and driving in super thick fog. The rest of the world is just gone. I love it.
Looking up at the stars at night
@[email protected] I won’t say that’s weird to be honest
I was thinking the same, but I don’t really see my neighbours standing out in their garden in the middle of the night just staring at the sky

The early sunset in fall and winter. I like when it’s dark outside and you can see light in people’s homes, it feels so cozy to me. Also hot water bottles, I love going to bed with one.
I also just love the long quiet nights of winter, in fact i wish i were able to experience the far north like yukon or oslo or something like that, possibly even further and experience not having the sun rise above the horizon for a few days, i think the lighting would be absolutely gorgeous
Your posts take me back to 2007 where I was doing the same thing on the Nintendo Wii’s Weather Channel.
The Wii hit different.
Maybe you know this, but it is still possible to use the Weather Channel app thanks to hacks.
Most people I know hate it, but I absolutely love the feeling of a fly crawling on my arms or legs. It gives me this wonderful comfortable tingling sensation and I can’t get enough of it.
I think you win
Yeah my wife and both kids let these little hover flies crawl on them while we are watching outdoor sports or whatever. They like to land on you and drink your sweat. They’ll give them names and sit with one on them for an hour and act sad when they leave.
I’m not afraid of them but I don’t like it.
I’m not afraid of them but I don’t like it.
Can’t tell if you’re referring to the flies or the wife and kids.
Wife and kids DO like and AM afraid of
Laying on the floor in my house with all the doors locked. I like being able to fully stretch out and I can only do that on the floor. Having my door and windows locked is very comforting.
When I wake up while it’s still dark in the morning, I can hear the sound of trains in the distance. Specifically no horns or anything, just the sound of the engines / metal on tracks.
Bonus points because it was lightly raining today.
Those nautical twilight colours are gorgeous!

I find comfort in the fact I can take my life at any time. This means that I can live life without worrying too much. When life gets too hard I can just end it, so until then I can enjoy the things I like.
Death is mysterious. But do you really want to seek it ? It will eventually come anyways, so why seek it before it comes.
Even though it was not our choice to be alive, we do have the choice to live it in 100 different ways. I cannot judge the hardship you are facing, but rather than seeing death, why not try changing the variables of your life or help change it for someone less fortunate than you ?
Why do you assume they are not trying?
