>>2732652People are often loud, overbearing, and only seem to be getting angrier and more on-edge. I often feel like I don't fit in or that there isn't a place for me in most social spaces. Even in the company of kind, generous folk who I might otherwise enjoy I often feel like I'm intruding, infringing, or otherwise inconveniencing them in some way. Probably my own insecurities bleeding through. Guess that's something I need to work on and make peace with.
Nature doesn't impose any of these feelings upon me. I feel that, in some sense, I'm meant to be there. I feel comfortable and without pressure to present myself a certain way. Both cities and nature are teeming with life; with the former, it's very in-your-face and you're forced to partake. With the latter, it's vibrant and lush, but just barely perceptible beneath the surface.
