Outdoors
Hiking and I don't quite get along
I don't like early morning hikes or evening strolls through the woods
I am an inside type of person
Everything outside my walls wants me dead
Bees sting
Mosquitoes bite
And I just keep scratching.
Cedar trees stab me
I get a small allergic bump
I layer myself in sunscreen and bug spray, but neither seem to work.
The sun breaking through the trees on my afternoon hike turns my skin red and splotchy
The crisp, refreshing air is nice...
Until it isn't.
My body tries to suck in more oxygen than it can handle
I'm panting
Hiking isn't my thing
But I choose to do it anyways.
