I’d travelled far, my heart’s desire for familiarity probing into various lands like the veins of a pulsing heart. It would have been easy for me to simply take aim and pull the trigger into settling many times previous to this, but the soul-quivering desire thrumming inside my chest prevented this.
I wanted more. Exactly what, I wasn’t particularly sure. I just knew I wanted more.
So I found myself surrounded by trees beckoning my name, leaves quietly pattering against each other in a gentle breeze. Their inhabitants chirped and squawked, congratulating me in a sense, on my arrival. I stood, motionless, my grey tresses flicking to and fro; waiting to see what my heart demanded next. I stood out quite painfully dressed in pale skin against all of the magical greenery, but I was unbothered. I hadn’t scented anything of the predatory type in quite some time - this instance would be no different. Sunshine gleamed eagerly through the treeops, caressing my smooth grey pelt with a warmth that brought a faint grin to my delicate lips. My heart, for once, stood still, void of manic ambition or dissatisfaction.
The grin widened.
It was greeted with more uprising in the brush, revealing their joy of my presence. The wilderness could feel the contentment infecting my previously vexed desires, and the happiness was tangible and contagious. Birds with their beautiful tiny voices peeped loudly, swooping high above my delicate crown, and I tossed my forelock in recognition. “I’m here,” I breathed, my deep green eyes peering towards the sky and its cloudless expanse.
I revelled in the restored calmness deep inside my chest.
I was here.

and if you`re still breathing, you’re the lucky ones, cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs
