I wish I was a bird…
I ran away more than once as a child. Sometimes it was just packing a bag of snacks and fleeing to the woods for a few hours until I ran out of snacks. As I got older, it became a bit more dramatic. Somedays my childhood fantasy of running away sneaks up again. Not in … Continue reading I wish I was a bird…
