"Nature means a lot to me" by Jadyn | Prairieview Nature Photography

Whenever I'm angry - I used to just go into the woods and I felt like I could walk for hours straight, stress-free, and not let anyone hurt me or stress me out. It feels good to see all those insects all over the trees and leaves. And to see all the animals showing their little ones how to live and survive in the future. Sometimes I wish I could just stay outside forever and be happy forever. But other days I know that it's all apart of life and not everyone is happy all the time... Ever! Nature means a lot to me.

About Jadyn: "I am here because I decided that I needed to get help for myself. I've had anxiety since 4th grade and defiance - since forever. Over the years I just got sick of doing the same things and getting into trouble. So I came here to find more coping skills. The InaNewLight program has really changed me, in positive ways. I've learned patience and how to take photos. But my favorite thing to do at the gallery is to look at other kids' pictures and read their stories. It gives me hope."
