I am…

I am a breeze, rustling through the Autumn leaves.

Crisp clean air that revitalizes the land.

I am a ray of sunshine, blanketing the Earth with my warmth.

Providing the light for all life.

I am the rain, washing the dust of the day away.

Breathing new life into everything I touch.

I am a tree, standing tall above the grass.

Holding firm in my roots, creating a shelter.

I am the sand, simple enough.

Infinite grains creating a pathway to walk the beach.

I am a wave, traveling the vast sea.

Finally, ending my life gracefully against the shore.

  1. I am so inspired by this writing. Honestly your words are so close to my heart I can’t even begin to tell you. Everyday is a battle and every night is a storm. In which I wish to perish yet I wake up and move on. It can be so difficult. I have witnessed death up close and I just want it now. Honestly I am so done with this world. My element is water and earth and I feel like they are calling to me to take me in.
    Loved the post

    1. 🀍🀍 I’ve been there, too. The beauty of nature brings me hope and keeps me going. The beach is where I find my peace. I saw that you have a podcast, I followed on Spotify and plan to listen later. ✨

      1. I’ve listened to a few episodes so far. The latest one, β€œWeird State of Mind…”, I just wanted to let you know I felt that way for years. I had to leave an abusive family system to begin to feel like myself again. I think the state of the world right now is causing us all collective trauma and even people with the best of lives can feel that way. I don’t know your personal situation, but just know I felt that way and I came through the other side. I have faith that you will too. πŸ’šπŸ’š

      2. Thank you so much. It feels kinda nice to know in not the only one thinking like this. Sorry to say this of course it must have been traumatic but I just feel comforted knowing there are other people who have the same feeling.. Love you loads and hope you get everything you wish for and more

    2. Don’t let the reactionaries of this World bury you… they are the ones who need to be forgotten… they bare no lasting fruit, and are fit for the fire… you… are needed…!
