this morning #1634.
this morning, my run to school felt elevated. now that i was no longer tied down by the events that’d led to the accidental death of a stranger last summer, i could focus on becoming the best runner i can be. though the truth’s now out in the open, it’s confined to a select few who i know i can trust. they’d said as much & i just have to take their word for it. am i now in their debt? yes. i guess i am. i’ll take it though. it’s a way better price to pay than being publicly tied to the fate of some random dude who, from what i can tell, is not missed. do i wish i could’ve kept the incident quiet? of course. hell. i mean, i wish it never went down at all. that’s not how life played out though so, from here on out, i’ll try to thrive despite.
