4. Music

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."

6. Earth

@_ariesmermaid

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

7. A book

@submerged_smoker

"The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It's always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it's a different version of itself."

13. A body of water

"Water is the essence of life: The ocean, healthy rivers, lakes, and wetlands are good for our minds and bodies." - Wallace J. Nichols
