Hello Hive and Happy Holidays!
During this season we should think about things that make us happy.
One of the things that make me truly happy is hiking.
I bloody love hiking.
No signal, no people (except your fellowship) no noise pollution, just nature.
Random rabbit here and there, tiny bird giving you a heart attack when it flys off a tree and despite it's size, it sounds like a damn bear.
You know, the joy.
I am super lucky to live maybe 30-40min from Peak District!
West Yorkshire is like my favourite place in the whole world, call me small minded but it really brings the happiness.
Also whenever I take a picture in Peak District it looks like Windows XP desktop picture 😅😅 Love it, brings childhood memories!
There are many places in Yorkshire that I love, many places that I have so many good memories with.
Especially the Cow and Calf in Ilkley!
My best friend visited me all the way from Bristol and I said we are going hiking because it's beautiful here and he laughed at me. Apparently hiking is for old boring people.
Managed to convince him, under one condition; if he doesn't like it, we coming back.
However, when we got there he was already super hyped because 'omg it's so greeeeeen' so I felt like an absolute winner 😂
I can sum up his experience using just one picture :
Now, every year we are going hiking, this year we went to Wales but I will tell that story one day 😅😅
Hiking is something that I love, it makes me feel alive but unfortunately in my case it doesn't come pain free.
I suffer with a few medical conditions and one of them is fibromyalgia.
Infuriating illness that is technically invisible, unfortunately very very difficult to have.
I struggle with pain a lot, hiking makes it hella worse but it's my guilty pleasure.
I can't stop living my life just because I'm ill.
It won't go away so I may as well enjoy a little walk in the nature that is good for the soul long term, pain is mostly temporary 😊
You have a great attitude to life and living with fibromyalgia.
I understand how bad it can be. My wife has fibromyalgia as well.
Half the problem is getting other people to understand this illness.
They say things like "you look fine!"
Which doesn't help.
Glad you are here. 👍
Many people don't want to understand. Like they just don't belive us. They don't understand how we can live with constant pain and not cry all the time.
Well we cry but that means it's bad, really bad.
I'm gonna do a post about it and how I deal with pain and other sides of fibro.
I hope your wife is doing well in this cold weather, sending love x
I think that's a great idea.
The more people can understand this condition the better.
You have my support. 👌👍

‘Windows XP desktop picture’ haha that’s so true.
Love the photo of him striding the tree. That’s a happy man right there! Men are easily pleased 😂
Man found big tree. Man happy.
Hahaha that's very true 😂
Tbh I'm the same 😅
Hi Monika, welcome to Hive and lucky you living by the Peak District. We went there for a long weekend some years ago in summer and had a blasting time village hopping, the scenery was so beautiful. Glad you managed to convert your friend!!
Oh I'm very very lucky! It's a magical place worth coming back to! Give me a shout if you ever down here!
