I belong

I remember the exact same moment it happened. My eyes staring at the sky, toes in the water, heart in the sea. I never really understood the connection I feel with nature and above all water. It was raining and a little cold wet breeze greeted me by showing me that I was not dreaming... I felt nostalgic because I could never really understand how deep the world can be, but also felt complete, like the world really understood me or answer like no one ever did. The world just showed itself like a Tolkien book, making me feel like a hobbit from the shire that really would use an unexpected journey to begin to know the rest of the world that breeze showed me I wasn't made to fit in the system and be like everybody else, because I don't have the same dreams. Since that day, that tact, those wet toes, and wet clothes, I couldn't stop daydreaming. Since that little piece of heaven moment I believe that every place in the world is a diamond waiting to be found, like an endless adventure and it's always worth the soul. Since that day I feel like I belong....
