The moon was so clear and bright. The black silhouettes of towering trees were clearly defined against a gradient sky of hot red, pale green and cool blue. A farewell from the setting sun. I felt very... unalone? Even closer to something than I do in the company of my peers. Despite no one being there, it felt like every part of the earth and sky was alive and in communion with me.

In awe of Nature's magic

I love the way you describe nature this is beautifully written - when admiring nature do you tend too write or think about your experience ? just curious
when im there, i just try to soak everything up with an open and clear mind. on the way home, i think about what i saw and put the most striking parts into words. when i get back to my room, i sometimes write about what i saw, and then compare it to my stuff from the same month/season from past years.
Every 3 years or so, i burn all my physical writing and delete all my digital writing. I guess because one beautiful thing about nature to me is that it shows me i can be perfectly happy just living in the moment.

I like the method its like a whole routine awesome too see - I try to head on a walk every day I remember the best I felt I was walking three times a day around the block and I was really nice - calming sometimes music sometimes not just enjoying the weather and nature. as for burning your writings do you feel better when you9 do burn them coming from someone who saves there old diaries (≧∇≦)

I am a new person every year as i develop and learn. i usually feel distaste and disappointment when reading my old writing because i don't like the person i used to be. they are, so far, always a worse version of myself and usually doing or saying something i now know is stupid.

the burning i guess is 1 a reminder to live in the present and 2 symbolic of the old me dying and the new me being born

thats fair changing into someone thats completely different from the old you is really beautiful -but reading back on old entries or things I was doing etc can be like " yikes glad that isn't me anymore" situation. I do like the idea of keeping a good journal until you finish it and then just burning it keeps things private but you learn to let go in a way too.

i hesitate to say im "completely different" because much of who we are is already dictated from birth by our DNA, but definitely a development/evolution

I like that - never thought about it like that I guess you could say its the "outside of the box" thinking as you had mentioned
