Where I Am From

I am from rainy days.

Droplets bouncing off branches, falling to the ground.

Soaking anything that comes in contact,

leaving your clothes clinging to you.

The ground is left drowning,

mushing around you and leaving trails of itself all around.


I am from trees who stand as giants,

home of creatures who spend their days and nights soaring the breezy skies or nestling inside.

Their fresh pine lingers throughout the air,

spreading to whomever please's to walk out and be consumed by the scent.

Always towering over you,

casting it's shadow of protection from the occasional stunning sun.

Who comes and fights with the rain.

Ending in beautiful harmony and casting you with God's gift of colors.


I am from breakfast casseroles cooking on Christmas morning.

Family gathered around the table.

Old memories resurface as new memories get ready to be packed away with the old,

only to be brought up the following year.


I am from family gatherings.

Mom, Dad and brothers. Aunts and uncles, Grandparents and cousins.

Every holiday spent surrounded by the ones that mean the most.

Our laughs spread throughout the entire house,

bringing joy to everyone.


I am from "take the dog out!" and "Turn the music down".

I am from "I love you's" and "remember to be your best self",

from Melissa and Jason Oswald.

From people whose goal is to bring brightness to others' days.

I am from the arms of people who would rather be givers than receivers.


I am from rainy days.

I am from trees.

I am from Christmas breakfast casseroles.

I am from a loving family.

A family who only ever wants what is best for me.

A family who will love me no matter what.

A family who will always be by my side.

A family who could care less about what others think of them.

A family who loves with everything they have.

A family in which I am a part of.

A family who makes me the best version of myself.
