Suddenly, on a sad afternoon, I decided—I wouldn't go anywhere else today. I set out with a bottle of water and a light scarf in my bag. The destination was not clear, but the path seemed to pull me towards the river. When I arrived, I saw a boat standing on the bank of a river surrounded by greenery. Time seemed to have stopped there.

As soon as I got on the boat, the cold air made my mind light. Dense green trees on both sides, the occasional call of birds, and the gurgling water of the river. This scene all around seemed to wrap me in a blanket of peace. I took out my phone and recorded a video—I want to remember these moments for a lifetime.

As the boat slowly floated, I realized—all the excitement, sorrow, and fatigue of life seemed to be melting away in the waves of this river. This is a unique experience of spending time with yourself.

I would tell girls, if you have time, go out like this at least once. The joy of finding yourself in the midst of nature—cannot be expressed in any language.
