i'm completely sober. Just thinking about the anti-nature propaganda we've been fed all our lives, and how we've been duped into steering ourselves away from the spaces that are most healing, most grounding, & most inspiring for us to build in

It's happening everywhere, and they can't wait to perfect it here. Everywhere else is practice
