~Footsteps in the Past~

4/9/16
As I slowly walk down the beach admiring the beautiful crystal clear water of Lake Michigan. The wind blowing in my face and as I walk along the water coming closer to my feet. The water was cold. As I walk down the beach I think to myself, all the memories are slowly fading away. Will I ever feel this way again? Can I ever go back 3 seconds and ever feel the same feelings I felt when I made my footprints in the sand? Will I ever have these feelings again? The wind starts picking up, is that it's way telling me once I made my footprint I can't go back? I could try to back up but it won't be the same. Once it happens you can't go back. You're in an endless white of nothing and you can only go forward and you can't go back. You can only remember the memory and the way you felt, but now your thoughts are different. As I keep making my mark in the sand I hear my brother laughing and him skipping rocks and having a good time with my grandma and grandpa while they are collecting rocks, but here I am ahead of them with my hood over my head. Thinking how cold I am and that I need to keep going and don't look back, my feet feeling the cold soft padding of sand beneath my feet. Here and there the water touches my feet and I try to move away from it like it was a monster washing away my trail of memories and thoughts in the sand. I look off in the distance and the sky was clear and little waves coming towards me from Lake Michigan. The memories the people I love making an impact on my life and changing me in a good way. Always been there for me, and help me through struggles. When problems happened it was cause the monster washed away my footprint I left in the sand, and I keep going forward and change my mistakes and learn from them. I kept making footprints in the sand. As I hear my name in the distance it sounded like my brother "You're going to far!"
Like sometimes you don't want to go to far or you might miss out on things. I look down at my feet and watched my path of my life being made and going even farther then before.
