Running

A foolish game of running away. Like children attending kindergarten.

Running away doesn’t change anything. It only tells us what we’re afraid of. What we cannot face. And it is painful. Because the running is endless and endlessly useless. It won’t solve a thing. Yet we all do run away, from a friendship on fire. Or we try running towards a past we want so badly back that we’re actually running from it.

As with all things, it cannot be forever. So sooner or later, we have to stop running, and go on with our lives. Time is (and will forever be) limited. Running won’t change any of that. Never.
