Or to put it another way: if people ask you touch grass, where would you go?

    There is a strip of grass beside the driveway to my complex’s parking structure with one tree in it.

    That tree and the surrounding grass has at LEAST five species of moss living on it, so I just slow down on my walk to the car and appreciate those diverse, weird little plants

    Kayaking. There is way less people in water than in the ground. My city is a small metropolis, bustling with people, yet on the river I can still find space to think and wildlife to observe. i can find small patch ch of landing where no one ever goes to and set my folding chair for a snack and sketch some doodle.

      I used to live close to a major river, and one of my fondest memories is going kayaking with my ex together along that river. My heart aches thinking about it

    I live in the countryside so I just take the dog for a walk through the fields. If I really want to get away into nature there’s a forest a few miles away that’s almost completely silent.

    I’m in a country town in Australia, fortunately we have a good mountain bike trail network close by that I try to go to weekly. Karri and jarrah trees as well as some pine forests, loamy soil, a small river running through the middle of the network. It’s a beautiful area.

    Erm… It’s a secret. It exists, I go there once a year and in no fucking way I’ll tell the internet about it. All I need is people there to ruin everything, right.

      It’s the Walmart parking lot, isn’t it? No shame, one of my fondest sunsets is at a Sainsbury’s car park, where everyone is just hanging out, playing music and just enjoying the day

        Legit one of the best moments of my college life was sitting on the roof of my car with a friend watching the sunset from a Margs parking lot waiting to sober up.

    There’s an old abandoned car dealerships close by I go there, if I’m angry I can smash old rusty cars, if I’m sad I can cry in a small super insulated cell in the basement, probably used to paint small stuff, if I want to feel better I can climb the roof, the owner was living in the house over the shop before getting evicted for fraudulence business, now it’s empty and really quiet, from the very top I can scout all the Mountains and lakes in my area, its one of the tallest building around, And the view is Heart warming, I might not have had anyone loving me for 23 years but this place pays for it, thers a busy road nearby and that always makes me realize that all those assholes I spent the day trying to comprehend and tollerate are indistinguishable from ants roaming the world on a timer like everyone else.

    There is a rose garden along my walk to the store that I enjoy a lot. Sometime soon I will volunteer to help prune them.

      I volunteer at my local nature reserve, and it’s pretty amazing how much work goes into keeping a park functional. The people are really nice and friendly too

    My backyard is nice. It’s not big, it’s not fancy, but there’s green grass and trees against a blue sky and that’s usually all it takes for me to remember the good stuff

    I save up for the Netherlands. There are enough places to just get a peace of mind, away from people, with a nice spliff and no one to bother me about it.

    I’ve been three times within the span of a year, and will be going back in a few months.

    Long walk through the park is quite nice - no cars, no pollution, just lots of birds chirping and strangers passing by

    Well it’s not terribly secret, but I just chill in my backyard with a book and my dogs, on my hammock.
