Be Yourself

Close your eyes. Forget everything else around you. Lose all sense of your body but feel your heart. Listen to your breathing as your lungs fill with air. Cold air that feels sharp as it flows in your nose. There's just your mind, your lungs, and your heart. Imagine a single tree. no sky, no ground, no world. Just a tree. A fall tree. Imagine the wind that you feel on your cheeks and in your hair blows the leaves off their branches, frees them from the burdening green life that kept them grounded Feel their happiness as they're flying away, free to go wherever the wind will take them and the best part, they are unique. No longer green like all the others but letting their colors shine through to be different. Now open your eyes.
