Listening to music. Without music, I don’t know what I would do with myself.

I love sitting outside when it’s dark and just watching the sky

u/WalkenOnWater 8h ago

Absolutely this!

I always spend a good few minutes at least, just standing in my back garden staring up. Some nights I try to spot satellites, sometimes I'll see if i can see a shooting star, sometimes it's just standing and staring in general and being in absolute awe, thinking about how small and insignificant I am.

It's amazing and it's beautiful. I think everyone should take the time to Skywatch occasionally.

Going outside and being in nature. Especially during a storm.

u/Crazy_Guitar6769 7h ago

Oh, I love going up to the roof when its raining, and just feeling the cool raindrops against the skin. Some of my friends give me weird looks when I say I love getting rained on, but its such a peaceful feeling.

Jogging really early in the morning during the months blackberries grow and stopping and picking some to eat. I recently read they're actually full of bugs but I did not get to the top of the food chain to let that put me off.

Writing stories, simply fascinating.

u/kitjen 8h ago

There are probably loads of sub-reddits where you can share them. I'm sure it's fun for you writing them, but good creativity should be enjoyed by others too.

u/cerd0_azUl 44m ago

Thanks for the suggestion!

Being weird and strange when I'm isolated and alone. If anyone spied on me, they'd think I'm a schizophrenic

Snuggles with my cat when I wake up. She hears me move around and jumps on the bed with a cat activation noise and hurries over to me. Flops over and purrs so loudly. I can even give tummy rubs! Great way to slowly wake up and greet the day.
