Peaceful Little Creek | Hiking Adventures #shorts #creek #beautifulnature #watersounds #bytesizeambs
Another small creek with gently flowing water. We've hiked by the one before and it was dried up. It was nice to see it flowing after the rains we've had.
barely a 20 minute walk and 8 frogs ushered or carried away from the middle of the road, with many more spotted sitting in the grass. the valley is filled with croaking and squeaking, and the skies are bright with stars: clearly a very romantic night for all those little creatures
i never liked soulmates. i think
it feels cheap, to some degree, if
there is someone or something out
there that picked you out and declared,
“this is the one. there is only
Them.”
-
i don’t want to love if it’s pre-
determined or foretold or in
any way guaranteed. i want
a mystery. i want to be
able to hope. i want to look at
you and say, “i am choosing this
on my own. i am the one who
decides to love on purpose, and
nobody told me to love you, and
nobody taught me how, and that
is the sublimity of it:
i love you because we are not
destined. i love the choice of you.”
no hate to canonically soulmate couples, some of my favourite fictional couples are, but honestly i love the idea that you find someone and care about them and decide to love them and make it work much more romantic then being 'destined' to be with 'the one'
also i wrote this poem down years ago and i cannot find it anywhere online if anyone knows the author please tell me!
