LOH #229: The Best of Both Worlds: Embracing Life as an Indoor-Outdoor Person!

Today, it's a great pleasure to answer one of the questions given by @elizabethbit.

1️⃣ Are you an indoors person or an outdoors person? Tell us which you prefer, why, and what is your favorite thing to do while there. Provide a picture of the activity if you can.

It's a great day to share, whether inside or outside, especially since vacation is quickly approaching.

I crave the excitement and fresh air of being outdoors, yet I also appreciate the comfort and tranquility of staying inside. This allows me to adapt to different moods and situations, whether an unexpected trip to a new destination or a quiet afternoon spent enjoying coffee and watching a drama marathon at home.

Yes, I enjoy being both outdoors and indoors. 

When I am indoors, I find comfort in my small world, which feels cozy, tranquil, and secure. This includes embracing quiet moments, whether journaling, watching K-dramas, enjoying coffee, or simply savoring my space. I feel in control of my surroundings, free from peer pressure, and I have plenty of opportunities to relax and rejuvenate.

It is the profound sense of relief you feel when you enter and are removed from the chaos and cacophony of the outside world. The soft lighting, the comforting warmth of your room, and the familiar aroma of home all feel like a warm hug. It's a calm, safe, and highly reassuring kind of happiness.

Sometimes, I long for the comfort and fragrance of nature, as being an indoor person can feel overwhelming.

That longing feels unique, like a deep breath I forgot to take. I crave the sun's warmth on my skin, the sound of the wind rustling through the trees, and the tranquility of the earth beneath my feet. The city is too fast, loud, and far removed from life’s simple pleasures. It’s like yearning for a time you haven’t experienced yet but miss dearly.

Perhaps it’s time for a break—whether it’s a walk, a weekend getaway, or simply relaxing outdoors. Nature reminds me that I am part of something larger.

Stepping outside after being indoors for too long feels like a breath of fresh air for the soul. Everything slows down just enough for me to notice the little things, like the rustling of leaves, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the way the wind carries a faint scent of flowers and earth.

Suddenly, the world seems more significant, and the sky appears wider.
For a brief moment, a peaceful sense of freedom replaces the weight of obligations. It's serene and energizing as if nature reminds me that life is beyond screens and walls. Being outside, even briefly, feels rejuvenating—as if my body and mind can finally relax.

Being both an indoor and outdoor person gives me the best of both worlds!
I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether hiking or going to the beach, but I also value a relaxing day at home, watching a movie or reading a book. While indoor hobbies promote mindfulness and relaxation, outdoor activities boost my energy and mood. I appreciate both settings—a quiet gathering at home or a night out with friends.

I'm not limited to just one type of experience; I can visit museums, beaches, cities, and forests and never get bored! No matter the weather, I can always find something fun to do.
