“As I began to connect back to myself and hear my thoughts instead of other people´s, I started seeing the connection we have with nature, and how it shows us every day, in every season, how to live in our own world.
Upon my walks, I watched how Mother Nature changes, how each day she rises—every day, every season, every year, nature rises, time and time again. If she is broken, she will rise. She will break through the concrete to grow her roots if she needs to, but she does it her way and in her time and it´s only other people who break her, she never breaks herself. When I watched this, I knew that I could rise too. I was going to rise up through the years of mental destruction and break through.”
