A stupid little walk for my stupid little mental health.

Only recently in the last year or so, I’ve discovered how nice it is in nature, sometimes with headphones on listening to music, sometimes listening to whatever’s in nature.

usually play Pokémon go whilst I’m walking too.

Hey all! I accomplished my goal this year in April to complete my Certificate IV in mental health, it felt like one of my biggest accomplishments in life. I also had a job interview today for a role as a recovery support worker! Fingers crossed I get the job.😀

Hello again dear forums fam! It's hump day! And it's time for another conversation, so let's get it rolling 😁

How would you spend your perfect day? What makes it perfect for you?

Honestly my perfect days are usually the ones spent in nature, taking in the tranquillity that comes with being surrounded by a lush forest, or the grandeur and humbling sight of a mountainous landscape. If I get to spend it with loved ones, and see some cool or rare animals to boot, all the better. 🌳🐨🏔🌞

What about you?
