Dirt road

I dream of bumpy dirt roads and spontaneous, unpredictable adventures that keep my heart always wanting more. I dream of freedom and play, a nine to five job never being my forte. I dream of small towns and big cities that leave my soul searching for more, saying this could be what I’m looking for. I dream of breaking free to let myself be.

Once I climbed out of the passenger side window I kept screaming and crying. I was yelling, “this is just a dream, this is just a dream.” But it wasn’t, it was real life. I called my

Crash A typical day at my grandparent’s cabin in the Black Hills consists of a lot of sitting around and just hanging out. Some days the whole family will go on a four wheeler ride for most of the day. Sometimes we will go do something like visit a cave or drive to Rapid City or Custer or Hill City or some other town out there. My Grandma cooks the best meals.

If anyone had been that way on four wheels they had to have driven in the middle of the road.

Having a miraculous, close encounter with death has changed how I view life. I pay attention to the details of my life more, and the small things in life don’t seem to aggravate me as much as they did in the past. I was born on August 19th in 1998 in

A Visit He pointed to the grove of trees beyond the dirt road. “That’s where your grandmother is from.” “Well, where exactly? That one green tree or the green tree?” She cracked a smile. It all looked the same to her. The muddy people, the dirt roads and the sea of green. A cow passed by on the dirt road, it’s tail swishes back and forth like the orange glow of a cigarette. He didn’t know how to tell her that he didn’t know, letting pride sit in place of false memories. “They are going to kill
