Dear Thoreau,
Remember when we were children and we used to play outside and talk to each other?
Or, how about the times we watched the vivid landscape as we drove around.
We live in a society with individuals that are slaves to technology.
But then again, Maybe it's the new "Norm".
I was like everyone else my age.
I got ready for school every morning.
I rode the bus to school.
I also did my work along with everyone else.
Then, I rode the bus home, went to bed, woke up, then repeated this cycle for what seemed like forever.
Time was flying, and my life was passing before my eyes rapidly.
I needed to find myself
A famous Author once said, "You have to get lost in order to find yourself." (Green)
And that's exactly  wha I did.
I, However, was lucky enough to have found people that crave the same thing I did - An Adventure.
In the society we live in today, it's hard to discover who we are and what we are capable of.
I've always stressed and prepared for the future.
Then I realized this was what was holding me back.
I had spent so much time stressing over the future, I had forgotten to live in the now.
The world around us is beautiful and nature cleanses and feeds our souls.
Thank you, Thoreau.
