There were always those days where, there is just so much homework, and things aren't going the way I want to. I needed a place to cool down, and to abandon the anxiety of school work. And it came. One day, when I was walking to my friend's house after school, and I saw my soon-to-be friends all just hanging around in the shade of an unfamiliar area, under a tree whilst having youthful conversations.I never knew about the place, and even if I passed by it before, I've never decided to go and visit that place, but then after I hanged out with my friends and gone there more and more, I realized that the place is a great place Tt was an on a bridge crossing over a golf course, and halfway through, a magnificent tree, surrounded by stone benches in front of a golf course. Every time school ended, me and my friends always went to the place. Its convenient, because it was close to our homes, and it has a beautiful view. Revisitation can never too old, because its somewhere we can relax for once in a while when we don't want to just go home, and do homework.
Honestly, I'm glad I have this to sit around at. School is very hard, and my parents expect a lot from me since I'm the oldest in the family. So having a rendezvous just makes all the stress leave me me. I can't feel negative emotions whenever I visit that place. When I'm there, it is as if the wind just picks up all my stress, and blows it away making me have time to think about many things without a worry in the world, even death just feels like nothing. I can look at the sunset over the golf course and smile at the setting orange of the sun, and the clouds who mimic the color. The lakes shimmer with the reflection of the afternoon sun and the grass sways in rhythm. I feel time would stop, so I can enjoy these precious moments separately from any other moment I've experienced, because I have nothing but time to myself, no worries. Even if my emotions doesn't change right away, it still is a good feeling.
I am the one guy who prefers peace, and some isolation once in a while. My mixed feelings of an growing teenager makes stress of school any many more problems i have to deal with more and more frustrating. I need that isolation from people and any problems, so that I don't have to be as frustrated. So that's why I go to the golf course, because I feel nothing. All I feel is the cold hard stone benches cooling off my skin on my body, I hear nothing but the wind and the occasional car passing by. I see the beautiful art drawn before me, as the orange sun paints over the clouds and hides behind the mountains in the distance, I smell the oak from the giant tree in the middle of the area. These things makes my mind clear, and free of stress. I cannot feel pain nor stress when these things is all I see or feel.
I will, and always will go here. I do not visit often, but I want to soon. The feeling is great, and the sights are amazing. I can bring my friends, or my dog even to enjoy the place. Or I can go there by myself and get time for myself. To feel, to think, and not feel stress from whatever I experience in my life. I love the place to my very heart, and I need to thank my friends for introducing to the place, even if they don't go there anymore. Why this place? Well Im not too sure myself, I've been to many breath taking sights before, and yet, I don't feel as relaxed as I do here at the golf course. Maybe because it is isolated from a lot of people, and the fact that I have time to think to myself. The fact that I can just slow down, relax, and just stare off at the distance, instead of walking around and looking at something big for two minutes. Instead can feel peaceful for an hour or even longer. I do prefer the feeling of peace anyway. Hopefully, the sooner I have less homework to stress about, the more and more I can visit that place, feel at peace, and have time to myself. My querencia may be simple, but I believe that the feeling is magnificent.
