Mother Nature is Mental Health

For most of my life I’ve felt alone. I was never alone, quite the opposite, but deep inside I’d feel so alone. I used to think I was the only one going through what I was going through and no one could ever relate to me. I felt this a lot as a kid. I’d spend every moment I could exploring the kingdom that was my backyard. The earth was my safe haven. I’d imagine I was flying around with tribes of fairies dancing through the sky. Flowers were my friends and trees were my protectors. Finally, I felt understood. I felt at home.

As an adult I’ve had moments where I’d feel so defeated, moments where I just didn’t care to continue on. I found myself seeking solace in the only place I could. I’d walk for hours in parks, just trying to remember how to breathe. Luckily, momma Earth never fails to remind me how to do just that. Drowning in my mind, I’d observe the life dancing around me. To this day I find myself laying under trees, looking to them for protection and peace. The clouds would look over me and tell me I’m okay.

Momma Earth has held me in my darkest moments. On the deepest of levels, I feel her energy, protection, love, and support every day. She embraces me, and holds all of us in her loving hands. She is the reminder you’re never alone, she is the reminder that life moves on, she is the truth, she is healing, she is safety, she is home.

Step outside, you just might find, everything you’ve been looking for.
