"Born into freedom, the outdoors captures the true nature of our souls.

We live, breathe, and dedicate ourselves to feeling alive, and electrified by the wild passions that so carefully, intertwine our very beings.
Now you may think we are nothing but romantics, in love with the grandeur of life and the act of living it. But for us, it becomes a steady cycling cause and effect, where we search outside and inside of ourselves to feel alive to be able to feel free, or vice versa. Otherwise we just feel trapped. I don't really know how else to explain it, other than it feels like we're suffocating if we're not constantly allowing ourselves to breathe freedom.

We love deeply, with every touch, and every word.

We search out those places, those people, who can intrigue us enough to be apart of our journey, to impact us enough, to be that breath of wild freedom in our lives for however long we can allow ourselves to stay.

When we became lost in the outdoors that year, and we started our journey on the roadmap to being found. Our individual independence allowed us to make one another the best versions of ourselves. 

Not everyone will understand what kind of souls we possessed.

We were the lucky ones, 

we were those that were born in the heat of the midsummer,

we came across our meaning in the trees,
we discovered our souls in the mountains,

we found ourselves, and each other."
