Finally another year is gone. It's passed and over. Today it the first day of the first month. Today starts the count down.
"Only one more year. And I can leave this place. I'll be gone and I will not come back. Not that day, not the next, and not any day to come after."
All children may say this. And some stand very true to their word. Children with the roughest of lives. Leave out and run.
Learning to tread on their own paths. Learning to lead their own lives. Learning to stand on their own two feet. While thanking the world for salvation.
Salvation comes in many forms. In the form of a beloved. In the form of a belief. In the form of an object. Or even in the form of a deitie.
Walking out the door. Not looking back. Gives you the rush to go. The rush to run and start something you never could by staying there.
You build a life. Your build a family. You build a career. But only the wisest build the strength to go back to that place, where everything pushed you to start the life you built.
Only the wisest. Only the strongest. Only you.
