In the heights I find serenity

Sometimes sitting alone and contemplating is much more calming than being in a crowd, which can make us even more anxious and unfocused.

I used to love climbing tall trees just to look down and see what my friends were doing. There, I felt calmer and enjoyed the food I'd brought up.

Sometimes we'd do it together and have fun up there. We never planned to commit suicide, and as far as we knew, doing something more challenging was much more enjoyable.
