every time i close my eyes i see bliss. i see nature and trees and waterfalls. there are flowers everywhere. there are no drugs, no alcohol and no crime. the world is peaceful. everywhere you go you smell daisies and the sun is always shining. it never rains and there natural disasters. everyone is happy. there is no hurt. i wish i lived in that world.

'i found myself'.
we go through life and see things. we dream, we learn and we think. that's how we find ourselves. but the biggest challenge is learning how to express it.
