When Curiosity Hit Me Back

I never saw myself as someone afraid of nature. Since I was a kid, I loved animals, insects, all the small creatures most people walk past. I would pick up bugs from the ground, let them sit on my hand, feel their tiny legs move across my skin. I watched birds from a close distance and tried to guess what they were thinking. To me, they were harmless, just soft little parts of the world that made life more interesting.
