By the time you even think of the possibility of something changing, it already changed. You may not have realized it yet, but your world is not the same as it was a minute ago.
so much has changed for me in this past year. i started high school. i got a puppy. i fell in love. and so much more.
Not only me, but also the world that i have come to know has also changed. not just nationallly, but also close to home.
when i was little, my favorite place ever was the woods by my grandparents house. i would go for walks there as much as i could. it was so serene and beautiful. it was my escape. when nothing would be going right in my 7 year old life, i would run there and everything would be okay. i would be completely alone. and i couldn't be happier.
i don't remember what happened. but i stopped going there. i forgot about what happiness it gave me. about a month ago, i was riding in the car with my grandparents. i happened to look up while we were passing those woods...but they weren't there. it was simply an open plain where, if i went there now, all of my problems and plains would be exposed to the open air and i wouldn't be hidden in safe from the beautiful woods, that for so many years had made me feel safe.
changes aren't always against you. losing my safe haven of the woods i no longer used was maybe a lesson. maybe the changes are telling me that i am no longer a child; i can no longer hide from everything. now i need to learn to accept everything and learn that i am now exposed to the harsh, cruel world.
