Some dreams shout. Mine doesn’t. It’s quiet, so quiet I can almost hear it already, under all the noise I didn’t choose.
I don’t want much. Just a place where I don’t have to shut myself away to feel safe. Where I don’t wake up to engines, alarms and other people’s moods. Where I can open my door, or better yet, never close it and step straight into quiet.
A patch of land is enough. Trees, some open sky, soft ground for my dogs to roll in. A camper, maybe a tiny house. Not big, not heavy, just ours. A roof that doesn’t leak. Walls that keep the wind out but let the birds in through open windows.
I don’t crave a big life. I crave a true one. Where Mart and I have time; our time. To walk, to mend, to sit. To not explain ourselves, not beg for understanding, not fight for a bit of peace that should never have been taken in the first place.
I want my fur babies always close. No locked doors between us, no goodbyes at the gate. I want to see them sniff, chase, nap under the same tree every year until their fur turns grey. And when they’re gone, I want to still live in the same quiet they taught me to love.
I want work that feels real: filming what others rush past, writing what others swallow down. Not for clicks or claps, but because maybe someone out there needs to know they’re not alone wanting less, softer, slower.
I want to waste little, buy little, hold on to nothing I don’t need.
I want to feel the seasons in my bones, to follow the weather instead of fighting it. I want days shaped by sunlight and hunger and rest; not by deadlines, noise or shame.
This is my world. Small, wild, gentle. It lives in every stubborn choice I make to stay soft when life pushes me hard.
It grows with every thing I refuse to own, every door I open, every quiet moment I keep for myself.
And maybe, if I keep living like this, even now; one day it won’t just be a dream I run to in my mind. It will be the ground under my feet.
If you feel something stir when you read this, and want to help us make it real; by sharing, supporting, or just showing up: you’re already part of this world too.
