Klaudia-

Blackberries are not black, they are simply dark purple. If this wasn't the case then I'm sure that some scientists would turn them into black paint, or dye for clothing since we are yet to find a pure black substance that we can use for our own artwork. You may have heard of the blackest black paint but that is just the blackest black that we have come to descover.

When I was little, mum, Elli, Em, and I would go out blackberry picking in the forest then would come home and Em would make her famous blackberry pie for pudding after dinner. Sometimes we would even go to the beach and have our dinner and pie there, but we stopped doing this all when mum regained her full-time job when I was 11.

After my meditation class with auntie Em, I decided I should take a stroll Dow the rickety path in the woods to where we used to go blackberry picking as a family.

I sat down on the old bench need the bushes which went on to overlook the river which technically devices our island into two. We have a pretty round island where this river leads from the main beach at the top to the smaller beach at the west side of the island.

Do you ever do that? Where you just sit somewhere alone and observe your surrounding what thinking about anything and everything. I know I do, and that's what I was doing here. Sitting and observing the river and the trees which stood tall alike the elemental jotun who were tall compared to the average human but could be mistaken as a human since we share the same features.

I flexed my slightly muscular build before standing and getting out a small plastic bag from my denim backpack. I gathered the best-looking blackberries from the bush and hedded home.

On my way home, my phone buzzed in the depths of my pocket to notify me of a text.
