The combination of sunshine, warmth, great sleep, carnivorous diet, plenty of electrolytes, and the beautiful peaceful forest was a massive flood of dopamine and endorphins. My happy straight-edge ass felt like I was on drugs (the fun kind that make you feel good) and I had a shit eating grin on my face just walking through nature.
Dopaminergic urges are what call us to seek adventure and want to explore. It’s like being a little kid just having a fun time venturing about. It is the same drive and inner voice that calls us to build, craft, and explore.
No niggers out here. Just very friendly European-blooded brothers and sisters. It’s in these moments, I desire most to be a father.
I was having a semi-mental breakdown at one point. I decided, fuck it, and took a walk at 6 AM-ish in a forest just after a light rain. I became immediately addicted to walking in forests. It truly had a massively positive influence on my mental state.

That wood has been downed for years. Responsible property owners either do controlled burns every 2-3 years, or remove the wood to burn it elsewhere.
You have most likely been on long neglected public land.

It’s void from the soil and food supply. Humans need a lot of it. I take 1000mg. Calmed my nerves immediately and I’ve not felt stressed since.

Is it really a hike if it's practically flat, though?

I figured a hike is like a long walk through nature. Not sure of the exact definition.
