The hustle and bustle of city life has always made me crave a peaceful place to relax and connect with nature. So I decided to challenge myself by living in a wild forest for 25 days, bringing along only my puppy – a loyal and lovable friend.
The forest I chose is a pristine land, far from the city, with a temperate climate, an average temperature of about 21 degrees. It is covered with lush green forests, chirping birds and clear streams. On the first day I arrived, I set up a small tent under the dense canopy. My dog, with bright eyes and a wagging tail, ran around everywhere as if exploring a new world.
Life in the forest requires adaptability and self-reliance. Every day, I had to find my own food by picking wild fruits, catching fish from streams, and boiling water to ensure safety. At first, this was not easy, but with patience, I gradually learned how to use simple tools and recognize safe plants. My dog was always close by, both as a companion and as a “bodyguard” on guard.
As time passed, I began to feel the peace and magic of the forest. In the mornings, I woke up to the sound of birds chirping, the air was fresh and cool. In the evenings, the moonlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating a corner of the sky. My dog curled up next to me, its warmth helping me dispel the slight chill of the night.
The forest was not only a place to live, but also a place to learn. I learned to respect nature, understanding that everything has its own role and value. My dog, though small, was always brave enough to face strange sounds or fleeting shadows. Its loyalty and affection made me appreciate the relationship between humans and animals even more.
After 25 days, I left the forest with a heart full of emotions. Life in the wild taught me patience, adaptability and joy from simple things. My dog, my beloved companion, became an indispensable part of this special journey.
Although I returned to my daily life, I always carried with me the memories of the days living in the wild forest. It was a time for me to find myself again, enjoy the pure beauty of nature and feel more deeply the meaning of life.
