This time when I am taken away from this dreadful place, I am not surrounded by loneliness and darkness. Instead, I feel completely loved surrounded by warmth and light. Its too bright to see anything but somehow my eyes are not affected by this. Its almost as if I'm inside the sun in a way but if that's true...where do I go when I feel grim? Its unlike anywhere I've ever been just like this new uplifting area. I know I'm traveling but how exactly is this being done and who or what is behind it? 

Before I have a chance to think and feel anything else, I'm dropped into a new place. The ground is soft and warm as if it's eating my feet. The surrounding area is filled with sunshine and you can hear the gentle crash of the waves in the background. The air smells salty and there is a light breeze that blows through my hair and across my skin, rustling the trees leaves. You can only see different shades of yellow and blue and the occasional pops of dark green. I look behind me and I see a wooden bridge leading away from this place but I won't bother with that when there is so much scenery to gaze at. I look at the ground and can see speckles of white buried beneath the yellow earth. I pick one up and to my surprise, its a sand dollar. A white as pearls, shiny as gold, sand dollar. I smile at the sight of this and the feeling this place gives me. I look around again and see something moving in the soft ground. It scurries around a while as I just sit there and watch it. It finally pokes its head up and its a crab, a very beautiful red crab. After briefly examining the area for predators, it returns back to the depths in which it came. I hear a splash in the water and look up to see 2 grey dolphins reach for the sky and then go back down. I sit there, enjoying the sounds, the sights, the warmth from the gentle sun and I don't feel alone anymore. No wonder hundreds of people are here everyday. Its really quite pleasant and peaceful. Kinda like the feelings I get around you.
After being in that awful place full of pain and sorrow and now being here, it helps remind me that no matter how bad the situation might seem, we can always overcome whatever it with each other. I can always count on you to bring me out of my darkness and I'll always be there to help you out of yours. We can always come to this place...full of happiness and brightness. This place brings good vibes to your soul with all its characteristics and because that is the reason I don't want to leave but of course, as soon as the thought of leaving enters my mind...I feel I am being withdrawn from this place. Maybe, I am the one bringing myself to these places but I don't know how that could even work. Why would I bring myself to horrible, awful places and give myself feelings I don't want to feel? Nevertheless, I am being plucked from this place and the darkness and loneliness return once again.
