Chapter 23: Lost.

it is so incredibly easy to get lost these days. and i don't mean "we're supposed to be in california, how did we end up in north dakota" lost. just purely lost. mentally, maybe. spiritually. the oddest thing about this is that it seems as if physically, you are exactly where you are supposed to be. looking in on your life from the outside makes you think that everything is ok from that perspective, that life can actually be good.

it's the inside out that's scary.

i've heard that if you are ever caught in a crowd, you should just stick out your elbows and get carried away. unfortunately, once you reach that destination, what do you have to show for it? maybe a bruised elbow or two, but nothing more. it's so easy to get carried away with the present that the future becomes that destination. and something that you realize you are completely unprepared for.
