i want to grow as a person. i want nature to lead me into the moss and let me envolve in it, let it shape my soul and heart, become one with it and come out when my heart dwells with love, self love. i want to feel content, wake up with the morning sun and feel happy, i want to bake bread on a saturday morning while listening to my favorite music with the love of my life and dance together in an empty room late at night and laugh, laugh till i have tears around my eyes with a smile so bright no one ever has seen before. i want to love life, love myself, love what i do and love the person whom i will spend the rest of my days with. i want to love.

we disappear in the summer meadows,

leaving no trace behind.

we live and breathe for nature,

each other and sweet love's relief

the reason why we all ache for nature, for woods and gardens and warm sunlight, is that we feel so trapped in today's expectations. they want us to dream big, and put us down for impossible goals. they want us to become someone and leave a legacy, yet whenever we try, we're told it's not enough.

then, some of us realise it's a trap. it's turning us into small cogs in a bigger machine, shaping us however they want. we realise this capitalist system won't let us breathe, won't let us be free.

so we run away to places where its grasp hasn't reached yet. we care for small gardens, tend to our plants, we find joy in simple things, where everyone else told us to not bother looking.

we crave peace, and rest, and most of all, we want to dream without being belittled. we want that warmth, that serenity. we want to be ourselves, without apologising for it.

waking up with warm, golden light coming from your window, no alarm to turn off and no stress to keep you up. you can have a lie in, stretching and yawning luxuriously, staying in the small cocoon of blankets you've made for yourself during the night.

or maybe you can get up, open your curtains and letting the sunshine fill your room. a pleasant breeze comes through the window, and you feel alive. you can make breakfast, a steaming cup of tea to start the day, some homemade bread slathered with honey and fruit.

you can get ready for an amazing day, you can enjoy the softness of your bed, it's all up to you.

alright, but imagine that when the pandemic ends. everyone will be much more sensitive to touch, and we'll try to be careful, not only because of the social distancing dynamics, but because we realised, after being in lockdown, quarantined in our own homes, that touching is personal. it's precious, and it deserves being noticed.

a brush of hands with a stranger, no more a simple passing detail, but something that makes you both turn your heads and lower your eyes. hugging a friend, not an absentminded gesture, but a moment full of emotion, where you stare at each other for a long time before leaning in, resting your head on each other's shoulder.

and people will find that romance again, even in the smallest touches. they will relearn how to put a million words in a simple look, in a simple contact.

the little flowers. the ones that look like they make music when fairies dance on them.

Now would’ve been a really great time to have a cottage in the woods so that I can be the sole human that lives there and the animals can come out and I could befriend them and they would trust me and it would be really great thanks
