26

Even When

I look up to the snow capped mountains I saw the incredible beauty only God can create.

I am so blessed to have this amazing view to look at every morning.
I can't tell you how many times I have taken it for granted.

Every single day I get the privilege to see, actually see, this awe inspiring place.

Why do I fantasize about getting out of this valley?
We are fortunate enough to live in one of the most gorgeous places on the planet, and I want to leave?
What is wrong with me?

Why would I run from this paradise?

As the days pass by, you realize how much you love the smallest gifts that your hometown has to offer.
I am not sure if I'll be able to let go when the time comes.

Never have I felt the slightest resentment to this place, only short periods of boredom, soon to be forgotten.
But the beauty, oh the pure beauty, can never be mistaken, nor forgotten.

I love my surroundings more than ever.

There is no doubt that the valley is definitely insanely beautiful. People just don't take the time and look around and take it in you know. You live with it for so long that we grow accustom to the way everything looks, and we forget how to discern the forest from the trees.

Make the best of it while you can. It won't stay like this forever.
