I Must Survive
Part 1

I continued to slow my pace and finally came to a stop. It was dawn in a country village where even the buses didn't run frequently. The entire village was blanketed under luminous snow that had fallen all night. The trees were hunched up like massive white beasts and shed hair-like snow every time the wind blew.

I knew without looking back that I was the only one leaving footprints across the snowfield in the village. Both of my feet had long been soaking wet and because of the cracked soles of my sneakers.

I once heard a saying that God makes us lonely to lead us to Him.
(Demian by Hermann Hesse)
But I was not lonely. I was not following the path towards myself. This was a retreat.
I was running away from myself.
