.wind.

when i feel broken. when i have been thinking. thinking. thinking. and nothing has come of it, and its all a mess. when i am overwhelmed with my own thoughts and feelings. i feel, above everything, the need to get away. i feel the need to be outside. to be in the woods. to be walking. wind in my hair surrounded by trees. walking through tall grasses. grabbing the ends and twirling them in my fingers. laying on the ground. the grass concealing my location. the wind rushing through the trees. i can feel everything melt away in the expanse of nature. in the silence. and something about being on the ground. in the dirt. looking up at the sky. just puts everything back in its place. i feel grounded and secure. 

this is something i normally do by myself. normally i'm too overwhelmed to deal with anyone. but this time. i took a friend. it was so much better. to share that experience with someone. to have someone to just sit and watch the world with.
