    Sure, go out for a walk into town or the forest, or a bike ride. Meet nobody who wants to talk to you, take photos that nobody wants to see or just sit and listen to birdsong. The one thing I have gained out of going outside frequently is the realization that we are one organic system, every plant, every animal, unified by the fact that every living creature has a finite life span. So my body too will rot and decay, I will no longer exist in the present and that is beautiful, for however much I hate my life, it is no different from that of a squashed bug on the dirtpath.
