Trees, tattoos and burnout

A walk in the forest soothes my anxious mind, fills me with hope, inspiration and a yearning to slow down and immerse myself in the beauty of a moment, suspended in the present, unspoilt by regrets from the past or worries about the future. I find joy in being.

There’s no other place that has the same effect over my mind and soul as a forest… especially an evergreen forest enveloped in fog. This sight, even from a distance, awakens a deep longing within me; something raw and primal. A hurt that moves me to tears, yet fills me with warmth and elation, like the aching desire and happiness awakened within you when you fall in love.

I can’t put this feeling into words without beginning to sound absolutely insane, but I hope that if there’s something that stirs your spirit in this way, you understand what I’m trying to describe.
