If given the choice, I’d spend every day in the woods. There’s something about the towering trees, the crisp air, and the quiet rustling of leaves that feels like home. Whether it’s hiking a new trail, watching the sun filter through the branches, or just sitting by a crackling fire, the wilderness is where I feel most at peace.

I love the simple joys in life—cozy nights, the smell of pine, and watching others experience pure, unfiltered happiness (especially kids, who seem to find magic in everything). There’s a certain kind of wonder in slowing down, in taking the time to appreciate the little things—a well-worn path, the way the wind moves through the trees, the warmth of a soft blanket on a chilly night.

If you ever need me, just follow the sound of boots crunching on a forest floor. I’ll be the one soaking it all in, probably with a cup of coffee in hand and a quiet smile.
