I keep repeating that in my head over and over again.
This is
Adam (the fox) with his friend Tony (the wolf) when they were younger, back when life was stress-free for the two of them. They both went to a place called "Sixteen Mile Creek". It was a long hike to get there, requiring them to walk open fields with green hills visible in the distance. As they walked through the fields, they passed by a few electric pylons, something Adam had never been so close to in-person until that day.
Eventually, they reached a wooded area at the opposite end of the field from where they had started. They spent nearly the entire day there, having fun and not worrying about anything. However, when Adam returned home, his parents were extremely upset with him for being gone so long without telling them. Despite the scolding, the experience remained a nice memory for Adam.
Adulthood reached us, and we are surviving it in our own way, leading with our anxiety and daily stress. It's healthy to escape a little bit from what we think is our reality, and see the real world. Why not to keep sharing those cheering memories, even now, and go to walk to places like this with a friend, to the point that there is nothing else more to talk about and you just enjoy that moment with them, and to see that all the stress and anxieties are things that only live in our heads, they are not real. The cold wind in our face is real.
Time is insignificant and we must accept it. Spending time with our friends doing nothing is not wasting time, it is enjoying our life.

Gosh this feels nostalgic... Oh lordy, our innocence slips away so fast, and here we are.
I still see some beautiful places like this around me (I grew up near Toronto, Canada and live in it now), but they seem fewer and far apart... Sometimes I just want to escape back to old fields and explore in all my ignorance, when the world was so much bigger.

As a collage student, I took a psychology class last semester. My instructor once said that, with her own experience as a psychological therapist, she found out that one common reason why people struggle with anxiety and stress is because they unknowingly don't allow themselves to relax. With that put into perspective, we can only enjoy our lives if we give ourselves permission to do so.
Great job, Paco! With all the stressful stuff going on nowadays, things like this help a lot. Keep up the good work!

Exactly!! And that has happened to me so many times. There are times that I'm doing nothing, or that I'm with friends and we are doing not too much and then I start thinking "I should do more productive things" and I decide to grab my tablet and keep working, that only adds more stress to my life. I should allow myself to enjoy those times at doing nothing, especially when I'm with good company.
