Unplugging myself for a week might not work too well with me, but at the same time, it might. I tend to be very attached to technology and such; not only am I a video game junkie, but I listen to music on my iPod every waking moment and love to spend my time on the Internet. I even write most of my writings on my laptop. I am not much of a text-er with my phone, but anyway, unplugging would be hard, but I think I would enjoy it.
If I could go anywhere to unplug for a week, I would probably go to Wisconsin to stay in a log cabin on a lake in the woods. It would be summer, and the surrounding area would be hilly. I would have a kayak, some old-fashioned journals, lots of books, and writing utensils. To pass the time, I would walk around the woods and be in nature. I would also go kayaking, something I enjoy and which is very relaxing. I would also take the opportunity to write stories and about everything, maybe even practice drawing. And of course, I would read like there was no tomorrow.
Being unplugged, even though I might be reluctant to do it, would be very nice. It would be a chance to get away from the pressures of life, and believe me, I have plenty of pressure to escape from. There is the pressure of doing well in school, the pressure to be a good person, the pressure to take care of myself, the pressure to make right decisions, and on and on and on. Unplugging and getting away from all of that would feel wonderful, I am sure of it. It would be like therapy because there is something that can be found in nature that is something like peace. Everything in nature works together so well, like the mechanisms of a clock, so that everything is balanced and good. It reminds us where we come from and where we return and that sometimes in order to live our lives, we need to step away from them.
