you can only try

its just after 11pm, and i returned morty home. atleast i think it was his home.

it was strange, and odd, i didnt much like the people i gave him back to, i guess i invisioned his owners would be a bit different. i found out he traveled far, all the way from greenlawn off broadway road all the way to larkfield! thats really damn far. i dunno, it just felt like, well, that he ran away from his home for a good reason. and i felt odd after i had given him to the kid who called in response to the flyer. right away i kept asking myself, "did i do the right thing?". should i have not given him up? should i have given him away to the others who had called interested, or desperately hoping that he was their turtle? perhaps he was best with me, and thats why i found him? was i meant to keep him? maybe i should have spent more time with him, maybe i should have never put flyers up. perhaps it was meant to be, and i let it go. i have to admit i am a little upset, not in the sad sort of way, just put out i guess. dissappointed maybe. i guess i secretly hoped that no one would call. but i cant keep a turtle, not now, and all i can do is hope that i did the right thing.

although it has made me feel a little bit better talking to braden, who has given me great advice...

"you can only try to do the right thing."

and i suppose i tried. i guess i will always wonder if morty is happy. or if ill find him on the side of the road again.

i hope hes happy.
