A Welcomed Calm

See video below

Sleepless nights where I’m left alone with my thoughts are never a good thing. 


That inner dialogue can be downright cruel. 


And demeaning.


It’s a constant battle raging through my mind; filled with regrets, bad decisions, doubt, and thoughts of self-harm.


Nighttime is supposed to be quiet.


Peaceful. 


Why can’t that be the case for me?


I deserve peace.


I just want some peace and quiet.


Today, after a really difficult week and many sleepless nights, I did what I could to find some peace and to quiet the noise.


The only noise to be heard for miles was the sound of the fallen leaves rustling beneath my feet.

It was a welcomed calm.
