You know how sometimes you just wish you could run away?
Where you just want to pack it all in and GO!
Enough already!
I want out of here!
I want a do-over!
Time OUT!
Do you have those times too?
When i was little, i remember running away.
My mother actually helped me pack my 'bag'.
A sandwich, an apple, some cookies.....a coloring book, a doll, my AM radio....a small blanket.
I had a place I'd run away to....2 houses down the street at the corner. The house there had some tall shrubs on the side of the lot, and i'd go into those shrubs and disappear with my stuff....
At first it seemed a certainty that I could last days in that place with no hardship. I'd imagine rationing my food supply and then foraging for more if it came to that.
And then I'd spread the blanket, and take out my coloring book - put on my radio and eat my sandwich.
A few minutes later i'd be eating the apple....and then the cookies.
If i could make it more than two hours that was saying alot. Those two hours felt like 20 though.
Anyway, I was wishing I could run away yesterday....
Except I can never think of anywhere to run away to these days....
I thought about it.
Where would I go?
Where would you go?
