Being young Quote by Jade
“I remember him as young and restless. Slightly wild and free. The woods were his escape, his sanctuary. Thats where we would run and hide, from the world. Any season and every season, they were all beautiful in their own way. In the woods we could be our selves, open minded and crazy. No one would understand but we never would stop. Adventures looking for glass jars and dead trees. Old houses and lake views. In those woods being a kid was great, we never wanted to grow up. We were soldiers in the winter ducking from war in the snow. We were water flowing through the woods in the spring. We were tourist in the summer finding the greatest views, capturing them with our minds. And in fall we were a breeze moving through the trees. If I could go back Im sure I could feel the smiles and laughter that were left behind there.”
