Skye Murphy-Connolly 11/01/2022 2:25 PMOn my daily walks, I see the sunset, some beautiful plants around my community, and many small animals. It's a really good experience all around. I usually take a walk whenever I'm anxious or stressed about school, it's a helpful tool to get out of my head and into my body. -
