Nature... and Healing

I want a job so that I can get an apartment or a house someday. I want to drive. I want a reliable car that can get good gas mileage so that I can travel, and go to the beach, and go camping by myself. I like camping and wilderness and traveling. I want to go somewhere to think and process with nobody around. I want to get my emotions out in a good way with nobody around.
Someday I would like to be an explorer. I would like to explore plants, and figure out which ways that I can change my life and be happy at the same time. I like exploring. I like camping. I don’t just like it… I love it. I also like nature. Nature calms me. I like the taste of the fresh air because it tastes like water. I like the summer breezes because they calm me down. I like hearing the birds singing. The birds put lyrics in my mind that calms me down. I like the sound of rushing water from the rivers. Water calms me down. I like lakes. I like the sound and the smell of the lakes. I like to hear the sound of the waves rushing up to shore. It’s calming.
All nature calms me down. Even to look at a sunset calms me down because it’s full of happiness and it fills me up with love because of the color. I like the way the leaves move on a windy day. Everything around me is happiness. Everything I see represents me and my story.
Sometimes I still struggle. Being trapped in one place or position makes me struggle. Being at home too much makes me struggle. The lights at the hockey rink beaming down on the rink makes me dizzy. Some noises make me struggle. Loud sudden noises like fireworks, and screaming, and banging.
I have to be 100% focused when I hear things. And I need to be focused to heal. I have to be able to see the positive. Everything I hear, it brings me in a trance. Like if I hear birds… I know that they are happy. If I hear the wind… it calms me down. Everything I see and hear is a story that can change my life. It changes the way I think. It changes the way I focus. And if I can focus in nature, maybe someday I can be focused at home with my family.
