Have you ever related to the saying “I couldn’t see the forest through the trees”? Always stressing about the little steps, the minor decisions and never really standing back to take it all in?
I struggle with the idea of knowing what I want out of life and just not seeing enough progress through all the steps I feel I keep taking. I focus so hard on trying to ensure I make the “right” step that I rarely sit back and realize how far I’ve come or how close I can be to the beauty of the big picture.
And so I wrote I Saw The Forest because I need a reminder that I shouldn’t be running anymore, that I need to stop and breath and realized – maybe you do, too.
So I published the story and hope you’ll take the time to enjoy it and let me know if it relates to you.
Thanks for reading,
