if you feel that you can only enjoy art and nature through the lens of identifying with a lifestyle brand your mind has been scrambled, by design and very much on purpose, by large corporations that seek to commodify everything, including the experiencing of nature.
you may enjoy this video, which talks about how it is the objective of advertising to constantly get you to "identify" with a lifestyle brand for short periods of time to buy the products associated with said lifestyle.
If they can make you identify and wish for a more artistic lifestyle, you will buy more art shit; a fitness lifestyle, buy more fitness shit; an outdoors lifestyle, more outdoors shit.
It begins to make you only see the world in terms of nothing other than what you can buy and, what is being sold to you.

The funny thing is that even though you seem to have had a bad experience with your depression in nature, the cure is probably found in the simple enjoyment of nature. It's one of the few things that is almost entirely free to enjoy.
the more you expose yourself to the wonders and comforts that can be found in nature, free from constantly worrying about money or appearances, the more you will stop looking though the capitalistic lenses that have been placed upon your head, and more with a right and natural way of thinking and observing the world
keep going /out/
