Beautiful written @riverflows, I understand how you feel about freedom. Hopefully you find a way out of that box soon! Remember many small gaps make a big one so you can escape in the end!

Surfing delivers me the same kind of freedom, but I try to find the freedom feelings in a lot of small things. Even my job offers me the feeling of freedom. And for sure it won’t be the same feeling as getting out on the water standing on my board and the wind in my sail, and only me, the water and the wind are out there. Yes, even in my small country we can surf alone😉

300 sq metres funny that it sounds small for you and for me it does sound like a big property of land. I feel myself lucky with a 100+ sq meters. Actually, weird that people react different to happenings, surroundings, areas, things, etc. for me my small garden is all I need, for you it would feel claustrophobic I assume and totally destroys the feeling of freedom. My girlfriends feels the same as you, she wants/needs a way bigger garden to do her things otherwise she won’t feel free.

The garden delivers me for sure some kind of freedom, when I fire up the BBQ and can cook for my friends and family. While having dinner and we can talk and laugh about anything

But I also need the feeling of being alone, some ME space. I can find that while being at home listening to some music. But I can find it on the beach as well. But there I need to go midweeks or early or late during the day or in winter. Oh yeah winter is approaching!

Loving your morning rhythm looking outside before J wakes up. Ten minutes of pure gold I assume? 😊
