The Woods Near Home

There is a picture on my desk top that helps me find solace. When I was a kid, I spent hours upon hours each day alone, in search of peace. There is a small part of me that wishes I was able to get some of that peace back. However, in truth, it really was never there even back then. Looking back on it, I was hiding from everyone who hated me, distrusted me, disliked me, verbally abused me, teased me, kicked me, locked me maintenance closets, people who lied to me repeatedly, etc... Just another ah-ha moment. Still able to find a younger self in the woods near my home in the picture seeking inner peace.
