Where do you go when you're alone?
When you need to get away from all the chaos?
A place you get up and go to whether that's mentally or physically.
I'll tell you what I do when I'm done.
When life gets too much and I get overwhelmed.
I walk.
I walk through the autumnal trees and past the old, decaying houses.
I walk for miles until I reach my spot.
An old, solemn bench on the top of a mountain.
Believe me when I tell you it's the most peaceful place on earth.
Not even the chirp of a bird can be heard.
I sit there for hours that feel like days.
The cool autumn air calming me down.
I sit there and stare.
Stare at the beautiful birch trees and wilting branches of an old oak swaying ever so slightly in the wind.
Everything leaves my mind in that moment.
The thoughts, the memories, Gone.
As the sun sets I watch intensely.
All the colors mushing into one only to create a beautiful sky of brightness.
The most calming pinks mixing with vibrant yellows and oranges.
That is my safe place.
That's the only place I've ever felt safe.
