However as years passes everything began to change the demands of life pulled me away from the simple joys of nature School work and the hustle of everyday life totally consumed me that I began to forget what it felt like to truly be at peace with the natural world
And the worst of it all was when Civilization and Revolution came to play
The surge of technological progress industrial growth and societal change came like a wave sweeping away the calm and peace of my natural works at first I didn't really understood what was happening it was just a gradual process Roads started cutting through forest and factories began popping up along rivers I also saw it in the face of people around me work was becoming more demanding life was speeding up and the appreciation for the simplicity of nature was fading

Initially I tried to resist to continue my walks through the forest my quiet moments by the riverside but then I began to notice that the animals seems to be disappearing the trees were getting scarcer and the air didn't smell as fresh as it used to my once pristine sanctuary was being replaced by concrete steel and machines instead of songs from birds it was now the hopping horns of vehicles and trucks and instead of the rustling of leaves now a bussing of machineries
The revolution didn't just affect the word around me it began to change me
As I struggled to balance my love for nature and the demands of modern life I found myself distancing from the things that once brought me peace I took up a job that kept me indoors working long hours in front of screens my weekend became filled with errands social obligations and tasks that left little room for the wilderness and this room again is occupied with social media engagements and slowly I felt my deep love for nature slipped away overshadowed by the weight of technological advancement and societal pressures
Fortunately one day I met an old friend from my childhood someone who had once shared the same passion for nature and together we revisited the place we had loved as children although what we found was heartbreaking the forest we once played in had been replaced with new construction the river was no longer crystal clear by filled with waste from the nearby factories the natural beauty we had once taken for granted had been ravaged by the unstoppable force of progress

But that moment was also a turning point for me as we talked about how revolution had not just transformed the world around us but also how it had reshaped our hearts the connection to nature we had as children seemed very distant now but the memory of it burned bright within us
It was at that moment that we realized that we hadn't lost our live for nature it was just buried beneath the weight of change and could be rekindled I decided to fight intentionally to reignite my passion for the natural world I began to spend more time outdoors even if it's a brief walk in a park or a visit to the last green space near the city slowly I reconnected with the earth and as I witnessed nature's resilience I also realized my own strength my love for nature may have been overshadowed but it is not totally gone it's just up to me to protect what's left the more time I spent outdoors the more I understood the importance of protecting our environment knowing that nature was not just a backdrop to our lives it was a vital part of who we are it gave us life nourishment and inspiration the world may be changing rapidly but nature still whispers and with that my love for nature is not only restored but also strengthened
