I have been running for my life, whether towards it or away from it, I have not stopped. I chase it or it chases me. There’s an echo sometimes, maybe from my chest where my heart tries to make a run for it, or perhaps it’s from the way my feet hit the pavement loud, running from myself, away from myself… I search the signs, look for one that shows me the way to self discovery. Maybe I’m lost most of the time, but at least I am not standing still. That means something right? I don’t always know the route carved with my name, but I swear I’m leaving footprints everywhere to say… I was there, I am here, I never gave up. I swallowed the compass, read the way by the beats of my heart.. I listen closely, and it’s okay if it takes me the long way around. Sometimes the long way has the best lessons to learn.

As the saying goes, those who wander are not necessarily lost.
