Nature

Nature is strange. Nature is beautiful. Nature is complex.

I don’t mean wildlife and outdoors, I mean our nature. Our nature as human beings. Our instinct.

From the dawn of man, instinct has been the driving force behind everything. Instinct has led us through trial and error, positive and negative, hatred and love. Instinct has not always put is on the right path, but it has been there for us fall back on in all situations. As civilization has changed and culture has been altered by others, our mindsets and ideologies have morphed and adapted, pushing us further from our natural instincts and beliefs. Often we second guess ourselves, think on matters longer than we should, and sit back without interjecting for the sake of others or the sake of reputation.

This is not natural. This is not right. This is what we should strive to be against. Our minds are powerful and intelligent, existing on many planes and realities, while our bodies are a vessel, carrying that which is inconceivable.

That which is our mind.

To turn against ourselves is…well, a disgrace and deceit of that with which you are closest.

That which is your mind.

Even if those decisions you made, those actions you took, and those thoughts you filled every page of every blank journal with turn out to be untrue or wrong, at least you can truly tell yourself, you trust yourself and no one can stand between you and you.

When this happens in concession and you find incorrectness in every instinct you hold, perhaps it is time to consider yourself and make a change deep down. A change far beyond clothing, a change far beyond scent. It may very well be a change in yourself wherein a new you, a true you, appears.
