When I think about going outside, going for a “walk” comes to mind. I like to take long, meaningless walks. Since I was a kid I have taken short walks and I’m not someone very active in terms of sports or general physical activities, but I find a strange peace in the simple act of walking. My walks become a “mental journey”, where my thoughts wander freely while my feet walk in automatic mode lol. I often choose random routes, exploring streets and alleys that catch my eye. Always discover little hidden treasures, like shops, an artistic mural or something like the enticing aroma of a bakery. It becomes a unique adventure. When I sit on a bench, I sink deeper into my thoughts, so much so that I feel sleepy. Observe the people passing by, their expressions, gestures and the comings and goings of their lives. As I said, I don't consider myself a very active person, but these walks become my personal form of mental and emotional exercise. It is my way of disconnecting from everyday life by leaving home, finding inspiration in the mundane and recharging my energy in a calm and slow way (omg I’m a poet). The last time I did this was today morning, I went shopping and took my time walking the streets. That’s all.
I remember when me and some of my friends went to a festival in my native city, it was called "El festival del tero" which is a silly name because the "tero" (a.k.a. "queltehue") is like a typical bird of that zone so it seems that those persons in charge of the festival had no more ideas to put names and they only saw a bird and they came up with that name lol. This festival was short, it lasted long like 2 days and it was funny. It was some kind of concert because there were so many well-known bands, I don't remember any but I know there were. I remember that I ate a lot, some people usually sell food outside the place and it's very cheap. There were also games for children and of course my friends and I went to play there lol. I don't like places full of people because of.. uhh, I dont like people, so this "festival with friends" was more like a kind of "excuse" to stay with them and spend time with them. I actually don...
is a good pastime
