“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

My Car :)
As odd as it may sound, one of the places that I enjoy and make me relaxed is my car, but I know others can relate to this. I enjoy my car sometimes when I am alone and sometimes when I am with others. But being alone in my car is relaxing, I can have peace and quiet if I want, or if I want I can turn up my music and sing. I think being in a car alone can just give you that feeling of privacy even if there isn't that much keeping you from your surroundings. Another thing that I believe contributes to the enjoyment of me being in my car alone, and singing, is the fact that a lot of times I am driving back country roads, so there are no traffic lights, traffic jams, angry drivers, etc. which I think can actually make driving stressful, so I guess it would depend on the situation that someone is in as well.

I would totaly agree. Being in your car and listening to the music you want to listen to or being in the quiet is a very serene and calming feeling. sometimes when Im upset or mad I take a drive without any intention on a certain destination, and the car gives me a place to think and calm down.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know what you mean, it is definitely a good way to cool off or calm down.
