"Exactly. Liv, what I'm trying to tell you is this. Every leaf in that tree is different. Different shapes, sizes, colors, and shades. But when you look at that tree, what do you see?" "Beauty. That's what you see. Find the beauty in the chaos, Liv. That's what life is all about." He told me, tilting my perfectionistic perspectives. This is my story for the #instaxStillsToLife writing competition. Enjoy!

There I was, out of breath, on top of a tree in the woods in the middle of the night on my 18th birthday, screaming my throat out, when he took my hand and looked into my eyes. "You are the butterflies in my belly as I scream." I frowned as he guided my hand onto his belly, but listened. "You are the beats of my heart as I stand ten feet off the ground You are my lack of breath; and my precious breath You are the wind in my hair You are the blood in my veins You are the thrill in my limbs." My heart started to beat faster as he guided my hand over his own. His eyes pinioned me in place, and I was falling into them. "You are the cold on my skin You are the warmth in my belly You are the moonshine in my eyes You are the smell of August and of life You are the touch of night-beautiful and mysterious You are the satisfaction in my soul You are the fear in my mind And the love in my heart." My hand ended right above his beating heart, and with tears in my eyes, I knew. This is home.
