trees are so pretty :)

recently, i have been enjoying my walks home from school - i'd buy myself something to drink (apple juice <3) and walk really slowly despite the sweltering summer heat. during those times, i have come to appreciate the beauty of trees - the light leaking through the green leaves, the branches dancing every time a gush of wind passes through, and the sweet smell of the yellow flowers descending onto the ground. it feels amazing to just look up and take it all in very slowly, feeling the gentle breeze hit my face and cool me down, secretly hoping that time stops just for a few minutes. sitting outside my old elementary school while drinking apple juice, watching leaves sway and listening to rustling of the branches has brought me an unexpected feeling of solace after all of the trouble i have to deal with as a high school student (1. god awful classmates, 2. god awful teachers, 3. god awful schoolmates, 4. a buttload of unnecessary schoolwork). it somehow reminded me of how carefree i was as a child, so blissfully unaware of everything. i remember going to school with my barbie trolly bag feeling like i was the coolest kid in the entire universe. i also remember my classmate stealing my snacks in first grade. that girl was a bit crazy - she pretended to be possessed by an evil spirit in fourth grade (i hope shes well now lol)

it made me think and realize that someday, i want to be much closer to nature. i'd like to live in a cozy, vibrant home with many windows that let the light seep through, surrounded by trees and flowers and the ocean (i cant even swim..)
