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.

Oh I agree, “blue space” is a stupid term. I’m just saying they do define it, and their definition is “near an ocean or inland body of water.”

The word for “under the sky” is “outdoors,” or perhaps “outdoors on a sunny day.”

This study is specifically about being near bodies of water.

To be fair, they did define it in the first sentence: “coastal and inland waters, such as rivers and lakes (also known collectively as blue spaces)”
