Where do you find the most peace?

I'm sitting here in class on this lovely Thursday morning, contemplating where i find the most peace in my life. I would have to say either in my room, reading a book or anywhere away from the drama and fake people in my city for that matter. My question is, where do you guys really find the most peace? Where do you go to alleviate all that unnecessary stress in your life?

My Grandfathers green chair. It the ugliest damn green on earth and it was like $800, but its a recliner and its mine now. I have a very very fond memory of my grandfather in that chair not very long before he passed away so it means a whole lot to me. That chair is the most relaxing thing I have ever and will ever sit in.

I think the car ride up to ski is the most relaxing. I have a 2 hour drive to summit county so i just sit back, listen to music and just fucking chill.

skiing - whether it is behind a boat or on a mountain, it's the only time I can shut off everything else in the world. It's my happy place.

"You put on your boots, click into your bindings,
dust the snow off your skis, and head out for the chair, and it doesn't matter
that you failed a test, didn't get the girl, or that your life is on a one way
trip down the shitter, your world is right for the next couple of hours."

Doesnt matter. I've got another one: ''You will experience some crazy, fucked up times, feeling cold and alone. You will experience heartbreak, funerals and being broke. But you will be doing the most amazing things with the most amazing people in the most beautiful places. And from what I can tell, thats more than most people get''

Peace? Why, on Newschoolers of course...not. Post-sex with a ladyfriend has got to be the most care-free, peaceful state of mind. Bonus points for her high satisfaction chea!

Also, long car drives by myself when the radio station plays great songs that you haven't heard in a really long time or funny guilty pleasure songs and singing my heart out like there is no tomorow :)

Stimmt.

Perfect weather today, isn't it?

My best moments are hiking in the Eastern Sierras just after the summer crowds are gone, where it's scorching in the Owens Valley, with still and calm weather up in the high country, not a soul around, minimalist scenery of granite, lakes, and sky.

Or wandering alone late at night in a 1000-year old old town somewhere in Europe.

Or catching the last chair up, and standing at the top of the mountain for just a bit too long, before heading back down.

- When its around 3:50 on a blue bird pow day while skiing with some of your best friends just before you drop in on your last decent of the day towards the bottom.

- Being in the mountains in general.

- Riding my bike around on the benches of the Salt lake valley where I live on a warm summer day and watching sun sets with homies.

For me, it's waking up early, driving out to the local lake/pond, and roasting a nice blunt. Sooo relaxing

Skiing pow, always leave the hill feeling super stoked even if its only a few inches of snow. Also surfing makes me really happy.

Hot Tub
Skiing
Down at the river in Golden (My family live in the middle of the forest, away from everything), it's the best place to go when I head home from the city.
