    Marriage Is Like A Prison Marriage is like a prison. It is a lifelong commitment that will hang on a persons shoulders forever. It can never be erased‚ and never be forgotten. Upon entering marriage‚ the crime is falling in love‚ the punishment is getting married‚ and the freedom is stripped from a person’s very being. Falling in love is never considered a crime‚ but it is. Love is a rush of emotions that are felt about a person‚ just like the rush of emotions one feels before a crime is committed

To get to the camping site‚ we had to carry all the stuff by foot without the help of vehicles or equipment since the roads were quite rugged. On the way‚ everyone carried as much stuff as they were capable of. After a while‚ a thin boy put down
