Individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings, visiting them as adults – which increases better mental wellbeing by Wagamaga
It's super strange, but I know for a fact I bitched incessantly about the constant hiking, road trips and weekend beach visits back in the 90's.
Now I look back and don't remember anything except the texture of it all, and the colors, and the smells of sea air and rainforest wind. And they are some of my best memories!
Part of it I think is that I have ADHD, and so suffering/discomfort has a timeless quality to it. But also other people without ADHD have described the same kind of simplification. Super interesting!
The kids will definitely appreciate it later, as others have said!
