Idyll: My Happy Place

Idyll: My Happy Place

When the sun shines and makes you feel its warmth spreading across your skin. Hearing the birds sing outside your window. Waking up in the morning, having yet to open your eyes. Hearing the sound of silence in solitude. Meeting someone new and feeling like you’ve known them your whole life. The feeling that someone trusts you and believes in you more than anyone. Turning around for a moment to take a last glimpse before you move on. The way your body can heal itself from a paper cut to a broken bone and to a broken heart. Losing track of time when you’re drawing. The pleasant earthy smell after rain that seeps into your heart and melts all the frustrations. The first breath of fresh air. The sound of silence when the rain is falling. When all the plants and trees come back to life every spring. Finding that something didn’t work out only for something much better to happen instead. Finding a new song that you can’t stop listening to. Looking up at the foggy stars on a cozy winter night cuddled up in warm blankets. The first sip of tea in the morning. That lingering feeling of someone’s touch. The thought that at any moment you could go anywhere you wanted in this world and experience a whole new way of life. The feeling you get when you just know to your very core that something is right for you. Driving with the windows down listening to your favorite music. Putting all your faith into unknown and trusting that everything always works out in your favor and watching how amazing things happen. Standing on the top of a mountain seeing all the earth around you and realizing that you are a part of the story of this universe.
