I went on safari (Patreon)

I always wanted to go on safari, to see the wild animals up close—the lions, the elephants, all of them. But now that I’m here? It’s… strange. They don’t look as massive as I thought they would. In fact, they look small.

I step out of the jeep, and the guide is warning me to be careful, but honestly, I feel like I could handle anything out here. The lions are lounging in the grass, and when I look at them, they don’t seem intimidating anymore. I’m towering over everything, muscles rippling with every move, and even the biggest animals feel almost… small compared to me.

I stand there, looking at a group of elephants in the distance, and I can’t help but smile. They used to be the giants of the wild, but now? I’m not sure they could match my strength. The guide keeps pointing out how powerful these animals are, but all I can think about is how I’ve grown beyond anything I ever imagined.

The giraffes, towering above the trees, seem less impressive now that I’m almost their height. Everything in this vast savannah feels like it’s shrinking, like I’ve outgrown not just people, but the wild itself.

It’s surreal, really. This place that once seemed so large and full of life now feels like it’s too small for me. The animals are still majestic, but they don’t hold the same power they once did. I do.
