I miss when i used to go into the woods with my friends as a kid, and build forts, we would dig into the clay, we would make huge Structures out of snow in the winter, and bring a thermos with hot drinks and sit together in our ice castle, there is something so primal about being able to create something just on an impulse, with no concept of a limit other than time in a day, I'm quite certain that if it weren’t for us having to go back to our homes for dinner and to school the next day we could have rebuilt the world.

And when people ask me what my plans are I'm embarrassed to admit, that the people who have most inspired me in my life are all in mental institutions, and prisons, or have simply walked into the sunset, leaving society behind. My most nostalgic memories are of a cabin i lived as a child with no electricity or running water, with a skeleton key lock and a wood stove.

i think there’s something inherently anarchistic in the play and wonder if children— something that get’s beaten out of us day after day as we’re bombarded by media that scrambles our temporality. it’s such a gift to be able to yearn like you are and to be able to deeply feel a desire towards play and creativity. i’m just now slowly reconnecting with that child like impulse within myself and it’s starting to feel so grounding. thanks for sharing your experience :) i hope you find the stillness and passion to follow those primal urges to commune with the wilderness <3
