I will go on

Don't stay in the past when there will always be a future

Running. Everyone does it. Weather you're running away from your heart, soul, or person. When I run, I imagine myself being chased, which isn't so far from the truth. When I run, I feel the adrenaline pumping through my vains but I can't stop. I can never stop. My feet are rythmically hitting the gravel. But still I go on. Even though I can hear my own hard breathing, I go on. I am not running away from something, though I am being chased. I'm running to the future and it is my past that is trying to catch up. I can't let it catch me, so I go on. Through the strain, through the hurt, the confusion, the dread. Through my thoughts I will run. And when I finally stop, I will have reached my destination. The past will be too far gone to see. It is only then that I can finally walk through the gates of the unknown...And it is there that my future awaits.

Ah, but you can't really run from the past. You can only let it be what it is and bid it farewell.

I like this, the runner pushing forward. You showcase that international drive claiming the road one step at a time.

Everyone keeps running until the end, a nice little prose, and it makes me feel a little more hopeful.

Hello Emily, I have never been a runner was built for standing not running terrible runner I dream about running sometimes and love the concept of it but never had the body for running! I'm a good defensive tackle or a blocker but throw me the ball and I'm gonna look rather sad:( I like this story and your concepts behind them i would dare to say this could easily be turned into a poem if you desired it to be
