I’m here again
My favorite place to be
I walk among the moss trees, the streams, and the waterfall that is approaching me
I cry because I feel so alive
I haven’t felt this at peace in what feels like an infinity
I made it to the waterfall, I will sit here journal and meditate until I cannot any longer
Reality is kicking in and tomorrow I’ll be at work again
A place I make no money
A place I feel as I never leave
A place that is beyond toxic to be
To live somewhere I love has caused me so much misery
I remind myself that this is no longer a dream, but is my reality
Is this a reality I can keep?
For me this pain isn’t worth it any longer
I pack up and I leave
