When I was young, Nature was my only friend, She was a godsend. I'd go to the woods to find a quiet place, when my pulse would race. And there, I'd create my own reality, where life was carefree. Alone with my thoughts and imagination, I felt elation. No need to pretend or overextend; when I was young, Nature was my only friend.

Wow, this is a really good one, Emile. Succinct, well-written, and so true for many of us who experienced abuse.
