      It’s My Farm I’ll Pass Out If I Want To

      If the NPCs can lock me out of their homes at night no matter how many hearts I have with them, I can deny them access to my property at night too. Get off my lawn!

      EDIT: I was backscrolling the posts on this community on my instance and did not notice the comment age. Sorry. Hope anyone else doing the same finds this comment helpful?

    And then an asian women in an orange jumpsuit with strange boots casually walks onto the scene.

    She’s quite exhausted as well, doesn’t talk much and is dragging some weird cube.

    She sits down next to him and stares toward the dàylight moon, hoping he’ll wake up soon.

    Hoping he won’t want her gone.

      Its weird, as a kid i had no problem laying/rolling around in grass.

      At some point a switch flipped in my head and grass everywhere ‘became infested’ with biting ants, hidden poop, and mud.

      I lie down in my backyard. In Australia. There are ants of all kinds. The occasional little spider goes past. Midges and butterflies and dragonflies and bees. The birds have gotten used to me so they walk within feet of me too.

      They go about their business and I, mine. No harm has come to me. It’s nice to be part of their world sometimes.

    Just chilling outside is an underrated activity.

    Over the past several years I put a privacy fence around the back yard and built a nice koi pond to sit next to. Sitting there, because of course I have a sittin’ chair now like an old man, is both relaxing on its own and is a great time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life (even Lemmy!). I often leave my phone in the house, but even when I have it with me it’s become easier to ignore.

    For those of us lucky to have the big three mental health issues, it’s a nice self-care treatment for anxiety and depression, and an opportunity to practice controlling my attention. But it’s in addition to my medications, not a replacement for them.

    But obviously it’s not the solution for everybody, and not even possible for everybody either. But just getting outside to some natural sights and sounds is what really matters. I’m sure it’s even better if exercise is involved (hiking, etc) but I have legit issues with both heat and sun so I keep my oasis close to my air conditioned home.
