ON RUNNING

There was a point in life where my sole dedication was to running. At this point I did not know what my deep held desire for this self abuse was.

And then, on a frigid February morning, driving home from the gym, I realized all I have ever wanted was to run from everything, forever. Not everything bad. Not everything stressful or hurtful. But everything good. And everything helpful or enjoyable. I just want to run from everything. Forever.
