To think is to wander

Thinking can lead you to walk through dark places inside your head.
To think is to wander.
But who can garantee you coming back home safe?
Still, it's the only choice we have sometimes.

I felt so alienated from my own thoughts and my own mind that once I started taking more time for myself, I was too scared to get lost all alone. That was expected, given the time I spent on others' lives.

Who can tell that a simple walk can change my life in a very unexpected way.

Let me explain,
It's been one year since the day I took that walk outside, and since that day a lot of things have changed. Some were sad, some were happy. The happiest being the relationship I built with myself and the realization that all the time I spent on others was partially because of me not knowing how to control my oversensitive nature. It took me some time to realize it but once I knew what I had to do, I did it.

I hadn't stopped going on walks and made it a regular habit. I made a strict plan although I hated plans and loved going with the flow. That is until I've come to the conclusion that I needed to build habits, and habits don't build themselves. I needed to get to work:
Fixed my diet, my sleeping schedule, started planning for my life, started thinking less about others' lives and try to shift my attention back to my own life once it deviates. I also, sadly, cut off some people out of my life. Some people who didn't want me to change.
I now have a small circle of people whom I love and who love me back and my life has not been any happier.

Writer's words:
I know! The ending is unexpected and out of place. But I figured the plot of the story doesn't lead anywhere and if it does, it still needs a lot of work. I figured I would end it before I made it any worse, since I imagined a character whom I don't know much about. I've read interesting facts about mirror touch synesthesia and wanted to ruplicate it somehow in a story.
A lesson will never be learnt if you haven't failed, and I can gladely say that I have failed this time. I will try to work on another story with a better plot and in case the second story fails too, I hope I learn something from it too and not repeat the same mistakes.
* I've written this story and posted it on wattpad not for the sake of attracting readers but to put some pressure on me, a positive pressure, to finish it. Which I did, badly or not, I still managed to finish it.
