Every morning I go through the same routine the closer I get to work the more my mind ponders the thought of when it was that I grew up. Trying to grasp onto that very moment when a my childhood innocence disappeared only to be replace by reality and responsibilities. In some strange way I feel if I can pin point that split second where adulthood took over I could somehow change my destiny. I think of all the other things I could be doing that day instead of going to sit in a office for 8 hours. Like every other morning when I come to the conclusion that I may never figure it out, I began to wish to win the lottery. That would surely change my fate. Now I would guess you are wondering, what does this have to do with my picture? Ah here’s the best part…. Just I begin to realize the chances of me winning the lottery will probably never happen and the negative thoughts actually start to over burden my mind, REALITY stepped back in. Over in the North bound lane a car is one fire. The man driving the car is standing back by the cops with a look of both shock and disbelief and at that moment I realize I would rather be sitting in the office than along side the highway with my car up in flames.
(…But secretly I’m still not ready to rule out winning the lottery, just yet.)

This is so very beautiful, and so very true at the same time. I have been feeling exactly the same way lately, and you put that feeling into words so poetically. I loved it. Thank you for sharing.
