My Life’s Philosophy I sometimes find myself walking‚ I think I always do. It may be in a straight way‚ a curvy one‚ a zigzag‚ or with hills along and oceans to cross and a sky‚ always with a sky to look up on. This is because I am travelling in this life. And there are times that I run‚ maybe because I want things to happen fast‚ or I leap‚ wishing things weren’t this hard‚ or I hide‚ dream‚ pretend‚ or even lurk around. And when I do this‚ I see the road of life always comes in different chapters
