Lockdown. We all hate it. Sometimes you just need to take a breather and to take a break from everything. Leave the technology. Get ready. Go for a walk to cure lockdown boredom. So that is what I decided to do. Our minds flood with overthinking and anxiety 24/7. Hence me wanting to throw away my thoughts and take my mind for a wonder.
Eagerly, the sun decided it was time for me to wake up, so it glared through my window. I progressively became more awake after hours of contemplating if I should get up. I removed the duvet that had been enveloping me and I put on a positive mindset. The weekend had finally arrived, meaning no work. I can relax. Take a break. Go for a walk. We all need to relax at times, especially after a challenging week fulfilled with stress. I sat up in my bed and my head span like a caraselle singing music, filling the fairground air. I plodded downstairs to take anti-biotics with the leftover drinks from the night before. Pulsating, blood pounded in my head. I needed air. I went back to my room and got dresses to leave my uni accommodation. I get to my car, blast music and vibe as I drive to the woods in the vicinity of my university.
I step out of the car and my feet make a crispy sound as they put pressure on the pebble grey gravel underneath them. My ears were graced with the opera swimming out of the bird's beaks. The smell of the freshly cut grass inhaled into my lungs as I could taste the alcohol from last night. It's all a blur really. Do any of us really remember anything? It all comes to an abrupt end at some point.
I pace into the tranquil woods as an escape from reality. I feel the frisky grass caressing my ankles as I step deeper into the gloomy woodland, further and further from any kind of civilisation. Anger fires up in me as my earphones keep trying to jump out of my ears. After minutes of aggravation, I decide to listen to my music aloud. The stinging wind roared through the atmosphere and unwillingly covered my rosy skin in miniscule goosebumps. The chartreuse intricately shaped leaves on the towering, mahogany tree trunks harmoniously danced through the chilling air, as they made a descent towards the azure bluebell filled ground.
Unaware, I had lost track of time and it was almost time for my next lecture, so I started making my way back to the empty carpark. I thoroughly enjoyed having some time to myself to clear my head of life's worries. My body unexpectedly began trembling from the intimidating breeze in the air. Tranquillity. All the birds have taken a break from singing. I hear no cars on the road near me. I hear nothing. Complete silence. Anxiety overcomes me slightly, but I brush it off as nothing. My surroundings are dim and unrecognisable. I have not been paying attention. I do not know where I am.
