The outside is upside-down, purposefully, and I can&#8217;t hold it but giggle a bit at my silliness. I notice how gorgeous the day is: the sky is blue and the sun is beaming strongly. Although the weather looks warm, I know the wind is crisp and the air is not as hot as a month ago. We can&#8217;t deny that Autumn is around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leaves on the trees in front of my window are gracefully dancing and shining bright as the sunlight penetrates their surface. I wish I could hear their sound, but I can&#8217;t: I am listening to one of my favourite songs and I wasn&#8217;t shy when setting the volume to almost 100%. While the melody plays along, I keep watching the leaves jittering to the wind incessantly. My heart beats steadily, following the percussion of the song I am listening to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mind is far away, crossing a different galaxy as I navigate through a set of emotions. They aren&#8217;t loud, which is good, and nothing is foreign: I have been here before; I know this place like the back of my hand. I guess I should be freaking out. Instead, I shrug: It is because I know that the most precious thing to me will never be taken away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel as &#8220;comfy&#8221; as one can be, floating on and spinning around massive waves of sensations and experiences, like a kid playing in a park. I see life blooming around me, beginnings and endings popping up everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time in a long time, I love what I see on the horizon before me. It is no longer muddy or dark. It isn&#8217;t crystal clear either, but the truth is that it never was. I am gobsmacked by this bright light that is coming from it&#8230; Because this is no longer a promise, it is now a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This light warms up every single cell of my body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for that&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that, I am immensely grateful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I lie down on the living room floor and look through the window.
