Running!
It seems like everything Ive been reading or watching lately has the main character running away from an "old life" to follow their dreams or to leave their past behind. I really can relate to these characters and become connected with them. I've spent a good part of my life running away from problems and the past. Running to leave a city because your family wont let you be yourself. Leaving a place so that way you won't run into a past lover. Leaving a place where you have screwed up and feel that its easier to rebuild a reputation and start anew. It seems like I put more effort into running than trying to solve my problems. The sad thing is, no matter where I run, there I will be. The problems have not gone away, they have just been buried deep inside. Although I've screwed up many things in the last few years, I've stayed to face the music. I've been so tempted to run and have even packed a few times, but for some reason I'm still here. In Morgantown, here and now. Ready to face the future and the past. Prepared for what may come, because Im tired of running. I know who I am, most of the time, and I know that I'm a fighter! I can make a life for myself as long as I have love and friends that support me. Everyone makes mistakes and I know now that I must stay and get my life on track. I know here I wont be doing it alone. I have found love and wonderful friends that will see me through whatever will come. With their support and God, I can make it through anything. Come what may.
