I've always found solace amongst the trees. They provide a place for me to switch off from the world and reconnect to both myself and nature.
Usually I find myself thinking about all the things I love and value.
Things very different to what the media, society, and mainstream culture value.
It's not status symbols, alcohol, drugs, meaningless sex, or celebrity gossip.
It's nature, genuine connections, family, and friends.
It's the smell of a log fire in the midst of winter.
It's sharing a meal at Christmas time or looking up at the stars on a clear night and seeing more than just the stars and the sky.
It's loving someone unconditionally and knowing, no matter what others think or say, to you it's real, and that's all that matters.
It's still believing in the dreams of youth, even when others have moved on, into what we are told is "adulthood."
It's being true to yourself above the exceptions of others.
The world is what we make it.
