yeah it's a shitty picture, nothing really special about it. but it holds meaning to me. i like to see it as something metaphorical like when things start look shitty, you can still find beauty in the bigger picture yadayadayada. still go back there to this day often and pick up trash to pay my respects.

cherish that special little stream spot OP, going out can be the best therapy.

based starring down the abyss poster. i know this feeling, the rock bottom epiphany, it's what made me start walking for days to even months by just following a compass without knowing where i'd end up. made me realize how little one could live on, and that self-reliability is possible even for pathetic creatures like myself

for me it's staring at trees
I love the way all the leaves move in the wind
it gives me shroom flashbacks
