My Backyard – My Favorite Location
One of my favorite locations is my backyard. Soothing and calm, its succulent green grass and little shading trees seemed to make it a capacious field that seemed everlasting. My backyard gives me a sense of comfort, security and a relaxing feeling. Being an outdoor kind of person, it brings a smile to my face, and gives me the courage to express myself. The time of the day doesn’t stop me from enjoying the beautiful view of the yard. When asking my sister on her perspective, she defines it as a spot to do her art and for my father, a place to cook deep fried pork and where the family gatherings are held. My backyard is a masterpiece of preserving nature and family time.
The backyard is a place where I know I can be safe and feel protected. It’s a place where I can think to myself and talk about secrets with my family. It is great to know that, not only it gives me the feeling of security but as well as happiness. When the grass is freshly cut, I would lay on it and watch the light blue sky and the clouds timelessly pass by as if I have little to no worries. Laying there for hours and hours brings my mental state of mind at ease. When coming home from a hectic day, I could always rely on the existence of my backyard. Breathing in the friable, cool fresh air, I feel a strong sense of tranquility.
My backyard is a place for me and my family to be free. Hearing my parents talk or argue is funny to me. Why don’t we have the BBQ somewhere else? Why does it have to be in the backyard? We don’t want to hear other noises, we want to hear from us, the family. Hearing Mexican music and my dad singing along is an amazing sound to my ears. That’s something I will never get tired of. It’s a safe place that provides unity. When comparing me and my family point of view is very different from each other. My father sees is as a family time having a BBQ, my sisters by painting and creating amazing art and for me a place to relax and enjoy nature. They have a different mindset. When I go outside my backyard is my safe place when I need to get away from negativity. We all somewhat have similarities, we like to go out and enjoy the day and spend time together and stay outside. If someone is having a bad day one of us will go outside stare at the trees or do something.
