Reply to comment by OldApartment9295 in Positive childhood experiences of blue spaces and adult well-being. Individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings, visiting them as adults – which increases better mental wellbeing by Wagamaga

My parents used to drag me on outdoor/adventure vacations, and hated it so much at the time. Looking back, I feel so bad, because I appreciate so much the experiences it gave me. Keep up the good fight.

Are your parents around for you to let them know how much you value the experience, even though you didn’t show it at the time? I bet they’d really appreciate hearing it now.

I had a fat heart to heart with my dad a couple of years ago when we drove halfway across country together. My sisters and I also mention it at family holiday gatherings. We were all little shits back then, I think we’ve been forgiven for most of it.
