It might not sound like much, but, personally, it would be quiet.

Today reminds me of why I yearn for quiet so much...

I was about four at the time, we had this neighbor across the road who would always go outside and garden. He was a jolly old man. That was, until one day, when he was not outside. Same with the next. One day became five and by that time the police showed up. Dead, from alcohol poisoning. He left a note too just before his death. I never knew what it said, but presumably it was suicide. Considering who he was externally, it was hard to believe it.

I use the silence to think about those who I knew, but are no longer around. Unfortunately, this has been too many.

It has been almost two years ago since my last friend committed suicide too. We met because we were both web devs at the time and despite being halfway across the world, we were very close. I miss him, as friends have always been difficult for someone like me.

Quiet gives me solace for it makes those I knew seem all the more closer.

So I ask the rest of you anons, as I have asserted in the title, what brings you solace?

Long walks in wilderness.

The ultimate solace is meditation, though. You can just switch your brain off. It's kinda like what drugs do for people, but you can do it the "honest" way with meditation.

Serenity/calmness gives me infinite solace. And it is always here, whether I am aware of it or not. I know this about myself. An hydrogen bomb, hell, a hypernova can be going off directly in my face and I know there's a layer of me beneath all of it that is so chill, you cannot disturb with any power in the universe or beyond.
The background radiation type shit. Ambience. Just dgaf

What can I say, I'm a multifaceted guy

Tl;dr solace is too complex a thought tbh, I'm too faded to consider niggg
The real question is what wakes me up...

This but make it urban.
Taking a different path from A to B, walking instead of taking the bus, off the clock and with no time of arrival, is magical.

Low key real. + drugs + music + night

But I live in the middle of nowhere so as soon as I step outside I'm in the nether lands and forests. Speaking of Netherlands, I've enjoyed many such walks in Amsterdam. At least 10 years ago, it was or perhaps still is my favorite well my second favorite city, big city in europe. Perfect for walking like that. No tall buildings, no bustling business vibe, just chill and awesome. + Drugs.
