Coping mechanism

Everyone has a coping mechanism of their own. It can be punching the door to screaming into your pillow.

My coping mechanism is to go on walks.

Whenever you go out on walks, Be it with friends or family or by yourself, You're often distracted by certain things around you, But you never notice the small things that contribute to the bigger picture.

When I go out on a walk, It's usually because I feel frustrated or angry or feel a certain way that is hard to describe. Most of the time, I don't take my phone with me so that I can notice the small things. Solitude feels good but it's unhealthy as people tend to live in solitude most of their lives as it's a weird addiction.

I like being alone. That way I notice all the small things like flowers growing out of cracks in the wall or from the cracks between the bricks that make up a sidewalk. You notice the weird spots on the leaves of plants that might be a certain deficiency in the plant or might be because of contaminated water that splashes on the leaves when it's being watered. You notice how people behave and move and you tend to observe a sudden change in their facial expressions when they're being told something that might be shocking, surprising, Or sad. You notice children playing around and living in the moment when they don't have a worry in the world.

People say that you need to do more in order to get more but, In reality,

It's always the small things that matter.

It's always the small things that tend to calm you down.

It's always the small things that make you happy.
