Why do you like the outdoors?

There's more outside then inside.

I love to sit outside at night with mu dog, lucky. I like to climb in the trees and pretend I'm a tree nymph. I feel the cool breeze going past me, and It's so calming.
Seriously. I could totally live in a tree house.

Maybe because I don't want to be raped at home by my abusive stepfather so I sleep in the forest...

I LOVE GOING SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE!

I live on a mountain with the woods in my backyard and an awesome view from my front porch. The outdoors are great. It gives you a sence of freedom. FREEDOM!!!!!!!

I LIVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

I just like getting out of confinement the outdoors is big

It calms me down, and I love getting away from buildings. When I'm in my neighborhood, or anyplace with a lot of buildings, I feel trapped. Nature is my anti anxiety medication.

I live in the city, so being outdoors isn't that special to me.

I feel renewed after being outdoors. I would eventually like to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail (North Bound) up from Georgia or maybe New England as the leaves are changing colors.

It smells good. It sounds good. It looks good.
It is perfection.

Thanks for all the comments! I've always wondered why we ruin more and more nature but always come back to it for answers. Think about it. We say we love all the new gizmos and yet where do people go on vacation? Not big cities (usually) or suburbs, but to the country where there is lots of space and nature. Sort of an oxymoron, isn't it?

I love being outdoors because it makes me feel connected to the earth. Life comes in many forms and I like to feel like I am a part of it all. Sitting in an old growth forest makes me feel at peace, the oxygen fills my lungs with spirit, and the energy of the ancient and wise trees fills me with awe and wonderment. I feel protected, safe.

Because it's our natural home. It's where you can escape from society and just feel whole again. It's peaceful and beautiful. You can see the stars, which make me find meaning in life for some reason. And at home. You can feel the soft wind blowing through you hair and breathe actual air and everything is just exhilarating. In buildings even large ones I feel almost tapped but outside I feel free and myself and like nothing else matters. It's just you and the sky and stars and earth and freedom.

the outdoors (were there is no car cellphone etc) make me understand not only what life really is but also how small we really are

Fresh air, beautiful, calms me down..

It's where the beach is.

Its a place where your able to clear your mind and explore what this beautiful has to offer! :] <3Brittney and <3Makayla

i like to hear the wind whispering my name

Fresh air and exercise.

It's nice to get away from the concrete and electricity from the city and just sit in a healthy forest, or by a fresh running stream.

i LOVE going out at night and sitting on my roof with the moon glowing on me. its just so peaceful and relaxing, and the fresh air turns me on, in a casual way o.o
