The cold of the morning made him think better. That is why he preferred to go running on cold days, which surprised most people. Especially today. It was very cold outside. This motivated him even more. Soon, he was out running in the middle of the coldest weather this year.
He could not get his head around what had happened in the last few weeks. He had lost his job and his best friend. He was already feeling bad before and now it was worse. He knew that what he was experiencing was not only depression waving at him, but there was also something physically wrong with him. He could not figure out what and he was afraid. For a long time too, he was having problems with his girlfriend as well, so that was not going well either. He did not know what to feel, what to do or how to restart, or even if to restart. He felt terrible.
He ran and ran for as long as he could. He did not feel any tiredness. All he left was the anger traveling through his body, making him run faster and faster, more and more. He ran and ran, ran and ran, ran and ran. Until he collapsed to the ground, gave out a big scream. The loudest he had ever made in his life. Then, he out his head in his hands and cried for hours and hours. People were looking at him as they passed and some even asking him what was wrong. Those people were the least of his problems now, so he continued crying.
That cry continued for the upcoming few years in different forms. Who knew.
This story gripped me in from the beginning. Wise choice of picture, excellent use of vocabulary and so easy flowing! I truly enjoyed the fact that this was open ended— adding to the mystery. Good job with this. ✨

At times in life, when when everything we think we know is fragmenting in front of us, the only answer lies in allowing the welling of our own tears to clear the way for our next moments. Thanks for this post. Well reflected.

Beautiful. In the deep, sad way that so much life stuff is.
The poetry of hearing someone’s pain and telling the story that the pain itself is too tortured to share.
These are the stories that reveal the legends and masterpieces behind people’s eyes.
Perfect closing sentence, too.

This is so good because it can’t be more real. We live suppressing feelings and when we can no longer stand our sityation and the load is too much, they emerge alone and we cry, sometimes without control; then we realize that there was nothing wrong in expressing what we feel and that this relieves and helps us more than keeping them quiet. After that, nothing can stop us from expressing self sentiments out loud.
