🌿 Love Letters to the Farm 🌿
Dear Farm,
I just wanted to remind you that you’re my best friend.
This life can be a lonely one, at least in the human sense. So much of the work goes unseen. The same playlists on repeat, sweat dripping down my face, long days spent feeding everyone else before remembering to grab my own water or lunch.
Social media doesn’t help. It’s a constant reminder of all the free time, gatherings, vacations, and friendships I don’t seem to have. And then I catch myself and think, what a spoiled brat I am.
Because honestly… look around me.
Any time I’m feeling low, I can go hug my cow or bury my face in my horse’s neck. I can kneel down to eye level and be absolutely tackled by my pups as if my affection is the most precious resource on Earth. Even the poultry look at me like I’m their fearless leader. Half the time I open the gate and they don’t even leave—they just want to be wherever I am. 😆
And when I walk through the garden or check the mail, the butterflies swirl around me like something straight out of Pocahontas 🦋😂 while I stop to tell the snake it’s nice to see her again.
I have so many best friends.
Just not the kind you’re thinking of.
So thank you for the reminder. Thank you for the perspective. Thank you for the animals, the flowers, the butterflies, the muddy boots, and the life I’ve built here.
And thank you for reminding me that maybe I should stop doom scrolling. 😑
I’ll add it to the to-do list.
Love you always,
Whit 💚
P.S. For those new here, “Love Letters to the Farm” are the little notes I leave behind when the farm teaches me something worth remembering. Sometimes they’re about grief, sometimes gratitude, and sometimes they’re just reminders that the life we’ve built is far richer than we give it credit for. 🌿✨
