The perfect place

To be honestly the quarantine time is a bless for an introvert like myself. I sometimes really
need some time to retire into my shell.

The modern life in the city can be too much for me and I need a little retreat. Fortunately, I
found the perfect place: my balcony. I’m used to sit there to admire the view of mount Ceahlau
which gives you a sense of peace and tranquility while being able to enjoy a cup of tea in the
morning.

Reading in the balcony is able to manage a quiet and soft atmosphere. The setting is perfect
with relaxing music. The mountain's ridges, barely covered by grass, spread across the clear
blue sky. The sun feels like a welcome back to the outdoors. There is the heavy smell of earth in
the air, mixed with the faint odor of the new growth. The crocus that have been patiently
waiting under the blanket of snow are now pushing up through the dead layer of leaves from
last year. The vivid green leaves and the cheerful colors of the blossoms are a feast. The music
sounds slowly, complementing the pace of nature.

It’s rare to find a place like this and I'll come back here every time I need a break from the busy
city life.
