Jan 2020
A vision of aqua skies and dancing clouds.
The summer sun warming your cheeks.
The wind whistling through your hair.

Running. running. running.

Above all you feel…
Invincible. Unstoppable.
You can’t be caught.

Tag, you’re it.

It’s a letdown.
It’s a disaster.

It’s failure.

When you were a child, it was so easy to accept.
You could feel defeat and be fazed for only a moment.
Now everything is so permanent.
The stakes are higher.

Which is why it makes everything more complicated.
Heartbreak could keep knocking over and over.
Quit the game or play again?

It’s a letdown.
It’s a disaster.
It’s failure.

But more than anything…
It’s your destiny.

Play again.
