Humans and Nature


There is this feeling I get when I am out in nature, something way different than anything, it is almost indescribable.  I always remember when me and my dad would drive two hours to a creek or a river and fish for the whole day. Those were some of the best moments with my dad, I mean I can describe the days super clear.  There was something I noticed, that even though I loved fishing, I think I enjoyed just being out in nature and relaxing and listening to the chirping of the birds and the flow of the river.  There was something so calming and relaxing to the whole place that I just wanted to stay forever.  Well, time went on and I got busy with school, sports, etc., and I was most of the time locked inside the whole day looking at words on a computer.  Then repeat this five times a week and that was my life.  On the weekends I would probably hangout with some friends, relax, sit back and watch some netflix, but I was always inside and stimulated, besides the exception of baseball practices.  Since quarantine has started, my family has been going on hikes and excursions every sunday with no phones, and even though I hate the no phone part, there is something that is calming and grounding about it.  After this I would feel a boost of energy go throughout my body, with my senses clearer and my productivity begging to be put into use.  It was nature, the real world, mother nature, whatever you want to call it.  I started thinking about the days before cities and electricity, when there were just hunters and gatherers.  People back then were considered stronger and healthier, and I can almost guarantee the outdoors had something to do with it.  Please comment down below what you think, and good luck with the road ahead.  Robert out..

Is Netflix Killing My Happiness?

Last night after publishing my blog, I snuggled up in my bed, turned my light out and tapped on Netflix.  All the sudden season four of Riverdale was out!?  I was so pumped up so I quickly turned on the show and binge watched like six or seven episodes of the new season, literally draining my eyeballs of all liquids.  Everyday since quarantine I have been going on Netflix every night and watching things for hours and hours with no end at all in sight.  Even though this constant entertainment felt good and me feel good, was it actually healthy for my brain and my body to be doing this almost every night?  Hmmmm…..  About a year ago my best friend was obsessed with this chemical in the brain called dopamine and how certain things like entertainment, drugs, and activities affected and drained our dopamine receptors.  For beginners, dopamine is a feel good chemical.  Whenever you win the championship for baseball, dopamine is released.  Du...

The Coronavirus Theory?

Hey everyone reading this! I hope you guys are all safe and staying cautious and aware during these unusual times.  About a month ago I remember going into town to get groceries with my dad and seeing all the stores closed.  All the haircutting places and barbers, closed.  Clothing stores like pacsun and american eagle, closed, and last of all our town mall officially pronounced closed until other notice and update on the virus.  Me and my dad strolled into COSTCO to pick up some food and try to find toilet paper available but as we came to the storefront there was a enormous line and I mean enormous!  COSTCO has a Line?!  They were only letting a certain amount of people in the store at a time, I think something like 50 at a time.  We waited in line and finally entered the store and a weird feeling jumped in my body.  I looked around looking at everyone in masks, and gloves with a face with a mixture of disgust, terror, and madne...

Finding Your Purpose....

So how can I find my purpose?  In such a busy and complicating world it can be hard sometimes to know who you are and what your purpose is in this life, but the thing is, most people have no idea what their purpose is, yes seriously!!  This kind of thing takes time, like years and years of searching and experimenting. Why do we have to have a purpose?  Well…. You don’t, but it does not matter if you want to have one or not, you have one, simple.  A purpose is what helps the world go round, it is what gives humans a sense of drive and meaning on this earth, without purpose there would be no meaning, and without meaning there is nothing.  So I am still personally searching for my purpose, I am only 16 so the likelihood of me stumbling upon it right now is kind of limited but it is possible.  Purpose is contrived when someone goes through many different experiences and adventures, which helps them get a feel for what they like and do not like...
