Have you ever just stopped outside for a second, on your way to work or class or heading home, breathed in a full, fresh breath of air, and just thought that everything was going great? If not, I would highly recommend doing so. Stopping for a second out of your busy day to appreciate all of the beauty around you, in your life, in your day, is so crucial. The air you breathe in is crisp and refreshing. The wind around you howls gently, brushing against your hair lightly. The clothes you’re wearing are comfortable and warm (hopefully). The sun is basking down on your skin and tingling with gentle warmth. You can smell the faint indication of morning dew from the nearby grass. It’s honestly the little things I find beauty in the most. I have always had an appreciation for nature and have always found beauty in the simplest things in nature. A perfectly symmetrical leaf, a bee pollinating a flower, a gently flowing creek. I could sit and watch anything in nature for hours, just observing.

Everything you are surrounded by is beautiful. Allow yourself a second to soak it in and appreciate the beauty around you.
