I used to be able to look at a globe, spin it around and wherever my finger landed I could realistically tell myself that one day I would go there. Now I look at a map of Maryland, where I live, and I can only hope one day I will be able to travel to the far reaches of the state.
This is the story of how I went from believing I could go anywhere to believing I could go almost nowhere. It’s a story about how, when I was nineteen, my world began to shrink drastically. And how, when I was twenty-two, I vowed to fight against that shrinking, expanding my boundaries—and my life—day by day and literally mile by mile. And now, at twenty-eight, I'm still on that journey.
This is my favorite part of both your manuscript and this blog. I am incredibly in awe of your ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings and I am so honored you let me in to your thoughts this way. Philly should be next on your goal list - we made it to Annapolis for Six Flags and slowly but surely you will go wherever you want.
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteThank you. That means a lot to me. Philly is on my goal list, and we should go to Six Flags again this summer! What do you think?
