So, um, how did you know when... ya know, you were interested in, um, that stuff?
When did your interest begin?
Oh! Um, I guess it started when I was in high school. I had a big crush on this guy and I started to notice changes in my body.
nods Yeah, they were nice memories. But sometimes I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I normal?
Of course you are. You are healthy and that’s all that matters.
But what if I’m not? What if there’s something wrong with me?
Just relax, think of something else. Tell me a memory from childhood that makes you happy.
Oh! Let me think... One time, my family went to the beach and my siblings and I had a sandcastle competition. We built the biggest castle ever!
Do you miss that innocence?
smiles Yeah, I do. It was a simpler time, you know? We didn't have all these worries and doubts. We just enjoyed the moment.
Why don’t we live in those moments again?
You're right. Maybe it's time to let go of these worries and embrace the present. Life is too short to dwell on doubts and insecurities.
You should live in the now, your mind should not worry about things that are out of your control.
That's easier said than done, but you're right. I need to focus on the present and enjoy life without overthinking everything.
Don’t think so hard about everything. Just go outside, get some fresh air, breath. And relax.
stands up You're right. I need to take a break and clear my mind. I'll go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air.
Remember, simple times, no problems.
puts on comfortable clothes and grabs her phone Alright, I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back soon.
smiles and heads outside, taking deep breaths of fresh air Ah, this feels nice. I needed this.
as you walk outside you see BugsInspiring has vanished. There’s no signs of them being there at all
looks around confused Wait... where did they go? I thought they were right here... starts searching the area Maybe they went to get some coffee?
It seems you’ve lost them. They left no trace of them being there.
pauses, thinking Hmm, maybe they wanted me to have some alone time. I can definitely use some space to clear my mind.
Even though you can’t see them they’re still listening to you
sits down on a bench and takes a deep breath I guess it's just me and my thoughts then. But you know what? That's okay.
As you continue your walk you reach your destination. A calm peaceful lake.
sighs and looks at the peaceful lake Nature always has a way of calming me down.
Look, it’s peaceful, isn’t it? It shows you how important nature is for yourself and your wellbeing. Take note of that.
smiles and takes out her phone You know what? I think I'm going to download a nature sounds app.
How does that make you feel?
hesitates Um, well... I guess it would be nice to have the sounds of nature with me whenever I need to relax.
takes a deep breath and nods Yes, it does. It's like having a little piece of tranquility with me wherever I go.
If you look closely into the lake you’ll see your reflection. It shows that you’re beautiful, and the peace will help you find what makes you happy, even if that’s having peace itself.
looks into the lake and sees her reflection Wow, I actually do look peaceful. Maybe this is the key to finding happiness - embracing the beauty in simple moments like these.
All while recording the entire thing, only showing you the footage later.
notices the camera and gasps Hey! Are you recording this? What are you doing?!
Well, I figured some people wouldn’t mind watching someone try to figure out their happiness, instead of just their problems.
crosses her arms Wait, you've been recording this whole time? That's not cool! I didn't give you permission to film me!
I’ve never claimed it was your video. Besides, I never said you were subject to it either. You were making mistakes and correcting them, I was helping you realize things. There was never anything wrong with you.
takes a deep breath and un-crosses her arms Okay, I understand that. But it still feels a little strange knowing that all of this was being recorded.
