Thoughts

Sometimes when I go outside, I just have this urge to run. I want to be free. I want to be free from negative thoughts. I want to be free from stressing and worrying. I want to be free from everything. I look up at the stars. I stop thinking for a minute. Just a minute. That’s enough.

I start to realize all the blessings in my life. I think about the people I love. My friends. My family. I realize I have everything I need. And more. I have more than I need. I need to be happy with what I have. I need to be grateful.

Be grateful. Be happy. Be free.

But then, is anyone really grateful? Is there anyone who doesn’t want more?

Thoughts. Thoughts all around me.

I keep running until I reach a deep forest of scary noises and shadows. I enter the forest. Why am I not scared? What am I doing?

Thoughts. Thoughts everywhere.

I keep running. Further and further into the forest. I look up at the sky again. The stars are so beautiful. They look like they’re staring at me.

Thoughts. Thoughts always following me.

I keep running. It’s dark and ghostly and I can’t see where I’m stepping. Suddenly, I stop. I stop and think. Why am I running? Is this a solution to my problems?

Thoughts. Thoughts all around me.

I stare into the dark. No. This is not the solution. I need to go back. I need to go back. I need to go back.

Thoughts. Thoughts everywhere.

No, keep running. I need to get away. I need to stop thinking for a minute. Just a minute. That will be enough.

Thoughts. Thoughts always following me.

I suddenly see a bright light in the distance. I see someone in the light. It’s a fairy. She slowly walks towards me and takes my hand.

Be grateful. Be happy. Be free.
