Have you ever been emotionally attached to a place? A geographical area on earth.

This is one of my picture of the pretty place I am going to talk about.


I never felt this attachment to an object, a human or a place until today when I am leaving my beautiful society for a new place. I went down there on the ground floor from 5th floor, sat among my favorite palms and cried my heart out. I was crying so badly, I don't even remember if I have cried like this in years.

I wondered a while later, what is this and why. I have left so many places, so many things, so many people because I have always been in hurry, rushing every single say to make things absolute perfect, out-beat myself everyday and yes at the end of day I am able to pull it all off in that absolute perfect manner.

But why so emotional today for a place?

Reason is I found myself at this place, this place helped me in knowing who I am and what I want from my life.
There is a spiritual part to us that most of us are not even aware about. I literally spent one third of my life not even knowing that part of me. Until I came to this place, this beautiful place full of nature - Trees, grass and Flowers.


I questioned myself - What's so beautiful and special OR if there is, then just stay there?

I have the choice to stay, but I need to be strong and move on to grow myself, and grow this part of me that I discovered here even when I am not here. Because emotional attachment is bad, you can never grow by being emotional about things.

Before today, I would see on social media and read in books too, people have a connect with mother nature. I always used to think it is all shit.

Holy smoke, this is so true. You need to feel some things in life to actually believe them. Can you imagine your spirit talking to trees or flowers or birds or the clear sky or sunlight. And you have no idea about this all, until you realize changes in your mental stability, changes in your personality and behavior.

Mother nature is real and she is alive right here, with all of us.

There is a reason word mother is used for nature and for earth. Reason is they just give, heal and love without asking for anything in return and we are so fricking cruel to them.

Most of us must have read this

If you like a flower you will pluck it.
But if you love a flower, you won't pluck it, you will just let it grow and live.

I have heard this quote 2 times closely. I clearly remember reading it in school and never understanding it and going to park in recess to tear trees apart as part of a jumping game. Second time I read it on social media, and still could not understand it at that time.

Today I clearly understand it and this thought just came by itself while I am writing down my feelings. Because everything has a meaning, our spirits can talk to mother nature and mother earth.


I am surprised that I cried so much this morning over this place that I love so much. I did not even cry this much when I left my home to work in other town. I am just speechless about this whole experience.

Here are the pictures of my beloved place -

My favourite palms, I love these trees more than any human friend of mine seriously.

I would look out of balcony every morning and see this, I took these shots exactly in the manner I used to look out from up in the front till the grass in the bottom. I will keep these with me always.

I totally understand you. When we go around in our daily routines, we often ignore that connection to mother nature that you speak about... That happens to me, too, but during holidays it seems that I'm more relaxed and I'm more in touch with the nature surrounding me. Maybe I should be on vacation forever...

Thanks for your awesome photos, @vibesforlife! That looks like a very cool place to live in.

Yeah that connect is something that you realise later on.

Vacation forever, yeah you can do that and tour us around on steemit :p

Is that gurugram?

Can honestly say I have never been emotionally attached to any specific place on Earth for more than a week.... I simply don't attach in that way. I can sit here in adoration at the seaside in Vietnam but just as easily let it go on Tuesday and find a similar level of emotional connection to my garden in Thailand with its waist high weeds.
