7.6.21 Huntsville, Texas
Despite the knowledge of the rain that would cover the city, I made a last minute decision to explore Huntsville, in hopes that the odds would be in my favor. They were. I used the morning to get ahead of my chores and prepare for the day. I arrived in Huntsville around 12pm, my best friend and twin flame by my side, and the rain covered the streets. I did not let this discourage us but instead, went to the Texas Prison Museum.
I’ve always been intrigued by the prison system and all of the corruption- especially since I experienced it first hand as a child. The museum was interesting but not much of what I did not know already. It was just a reminder of how evil humanity can really be- and I’m referring to the prison, not the prisoners. I will never understand how one human can treat another so horribly or sentence them to death as if they are God. How can one claim to be pro-life but support the death penalty? I’ve come to learn that many are pro-life until the actually life is born- or maybe they were never pro-life to begin with and only simply wanted to have control of the woman’s body. How absurd. Texas is very corrupt in that way.
After the museum, we headed towards the Sam Houston National Forest for a quick hike. Naturally, we got lost but it only added to the adventure. The rain had paused at this moment, allowing me to explore to my heart’s content. The forest was beautiful and lively; yellow butterflies leading me down the entire path. Most of my adventures involve bodies of water or mountains so exploring a forest was definitely a change in scenery and I was not disappointed. The trees made me feel grounded and reminded me to stay strong like the red oak. Despite water being my main element of healing, it was refreshing to immerse myself in a different terrain and experience a form of healing unknown to me.
The forest reminded me why I loved to be friends with Earth signs (Capricorn and Taurus specifically). The double water sign within me can be chaotic and I tend to get lost in the waves of my emotions. But my Earth friends keep me grounded and bring me back to reality, reminding me of who I am and what I need to do to overcome. I like to thank my friends, Luke, Rachel, Daniela, and Carlos for those exact reasons. More importantly, my mother for being my complete soul match and keeping me from getting lost in my chaotic Scorp/Aries/Pisces mind.
After collecting a few branches and pine cones, we made the 30 minute drive to Blue Lagoon. The water and view was breathtaking as you can see in the pictures. The spot was mostly for scuba diving, hence the depth of the water, but they allowed a few swimmers (not without a hefty $26 per person). The water was warm but it was exactly what I needed after a hike under the Texas sun. I used this time to journal on the cliff before cooling off in the water.
Thank you Huntsville for the fun times. I can now cross you off my bucket list and we will see where I go next! You can find the video of my travels on my Youtube Channel, linked in my linktree in the header!! Any donations or tips go towards gear, equipment, better quality, and more content.
