This entire week thus far, I've been feeling as though I'm looking into this world from a third person's perspective. During today's horseback riding adventure however, I felt as though I was actually present, breathing and feeling and seeing things myself. The feeling's a little indescribable, especially since it's not an emotion easily understood. Let's just say that I finally feel a little more like myself after today's riding session.
A little while later...
... Ahhhh, so according to both google and wikipedia, this method of using animals to help mend someone is called 'Animal-assisted therapy.' Interesting concept. I'm definitely learning a lot more things about life and about myself in the past 7 days than I have in my entire life so far. Definitely helps put my life into perspective.
Feeling better yet? Not quite, but making extremely small baby steps, but I'd like to think they're still progress either way. Especially since I was able to think up of a story involving my horse Silver (why not Gold?) and perhaps my Knight in Shinning Armour. Cute, but still something worthwhile to reminiscent about.
This was my horse Silver, looking dazzling and a little snobby (haha), but he was still an amazing mare and the workers picked him out especially just for me. Feeling special? Quite. Even if he did think it was extremely funny to walk under heaps of tree branches that maybe he was able to avoid but I wasn't, all because I didn't let him get a small scratching session with a tree. I did however, give him a full scratch down afterwards however... I am now also the owner of several more scratch marks all over my arms due to various tree branches.
Life has also become very, extremely cute, almost to a sickeningly sweet level too. I don't know if I know how to properly deal with this level of sweetness just yet. It's a little too much but it's not an unwelcome feeling.
