As the pavement disappears under my feet, i feel free. Like anything is possible. I can be anything i want to be and not be afraid of someone judging me. As i run, the trees turn into a green blur. For once my mind is actually blank. Not thinking about all my troubles in my life right now. I soon can see my house on my right coming faster and faster. But i am going so fast i don't stop. I keep going. I can feel myself going too fast and my feet come out from underneath me. I fall straight to the pavement. As i come to my feet, i feel reality crashing down upon me. The realization of who i am flowing down my face, trickling drops of red reality and allowing me to come to grips that no matter how fast the world blurs around me, i am still only human and life's troubles will always be there. I must then choose to run from them or come to terms. I wipe away my red reality and jog towards home. The pavement once again begins to disappear under my feet, i am free and anything is possible.
At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. life is messy, that's how we're made. So, you can waste your life drawing lines...or you can live your life crossing them. But, there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. No matter where life takes you, big cities, small towns, you'll inevitably come across small minds. People who think that they're better than you are. People who think that material things or being pretty or popular automatically makes you a worth while human being. None of these things matter unless you have strength of character, integrity, sense of pride, and if you're lucky enough to have any of these things... don't ever sell them. Don’t ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, please don't judge them by their station on life, because, who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend.
