What is Wildground?

A blog. A real one, written by one person, from actual experience.

In My Slow Summer Era

It was in the 90s last week; the air quality was the worst I’ve ever experienced, and I lasted about four minutes outside. I had a whole list of things I wanted to do, and I did none of them, and then I spent the evening with that feeling of
