I am in the middle of that road where you discover that no matter if we love/like/admire/adore a person, it gives them no right or license to put us down. We should never let anybody feed onto our insecurities, even if that means loosing that anybody. Because people gone leave a space that can be filled later on. But once that love for oneself leaves, it leaves not a void, but an abyss.
This is part 14 of my garden/nature picture series called "Nothing Gold Can Stay". The name of this series is based on the famous poem by Robert Frost. All pictures are clicked by myself. Please, check out the other parts of this series in my previous posts and show some love :-)

This is the second part of my spring/ nature picture series. All pictures are clicked by myself. I love to spend my time outside, since it's good for your physical and mental health. I try to connect my love for nature with my other favorite hobby: taking pictures. I was for this picture series inspired by the famous poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost and tried to visualize this through pictures of plants and flowers in my own garden.
I hope you'll like this series and maybe it inspires you to spend more time in nature as well. So enjoy this series and show some love :-)
In honor of National Great Poetry Reading Day, here’s my favorite from Robert Frost. The first time I heard this poem was in the movie The Outsiders based on S.E. Hinton’s book. The book, the movie, and the poem, inspired me to start writing at the age of 12. This is one of the few poems I know from memory. Still to this day, many years later, I still love it.
