As I walk in the snowy streets at night in my Nike Air Max, with music pumping through my in-ear buds, I always find myself lost in deep thought. Feelings of regret, sadness, happiness, and motivation, a roller coaster of emotions that can be both a struggle to handle and a blessing I'm thankful for. I'm someone who wants to take risks, but often feels too scared to do so. Though I know in my heart that I can do it, there is a mental roadblock that stops me. I often think I should be much farther in life, but I remind myself that this is a journey, an experience of getting through these difficult times of self-doubt and sadness, to eventually feel the happiness and motivation that I long for and crave. It's an ongoing battle, just a part of life, and an experience.

At the end of the day, I just want to be happy and make my friends and family proud. At times, I feel alone, but I try to remember that there are people who care about me.

The Lone Walk of Despair,

I Crave and Strive For,

The Lone Walk of Happiness.
