Every since I could remember, I've always been attracted to lonley places, I've always found a calm comfort in them. Truth is, lonely places make me feel less lonely, I think this is why its always been easy for me to hike and camp alone.
I've often struggled with finding my place amongst other people. I've always felt that I've carried an amount of conscious depth that is unrelatable, and unempathetic, ad nauseam. That feeling has always left me second guessing very much of myself, and especially my place amongst others, this is why it's so easy for me to disassociate myself from people, especially the ones I care for the most. Never really feeling like you have a place where you belong to is a hard cope, Nature has truly been my savior in this, more specifically the diversity of the desert. There no shortness of places to get lost, from the Canyons, to Hollows, from Mountain tops, to Creosote filled valleys. These places have always made a insignificance of ones mortal conscious turmoil, the wheels seem to spin slower when I'm there. Im sure there's some overused stoic quote I could excavate from some over red esoteric book. For now, I'll keep to my mountains and creosote valleys, I'll keep cozy within Canyon walls, and you can always find me happily hiding in the Hollows.

(Kind of feel like commenting disrupts the lonely solace... You know, "words, like violence..." - so, in relating to this, I shall simply) 🍷

I think the lonely places are lonely looking because we are no longer there and it’s where humans were really meant to be. Not this cushy fake synthetic world of plush comfort we’ve built. Well put, I enjoyed reading your emotion and thought.

Have you read “Quiet” yet? HIGHLY recommended, the author did a Ted talk that was pretty good, too.
