Miles and Moments_20250627

I’ve been running more frequently these past two weeks, though with shorter distances each time. I love feeling the sunshine on my hair and shoulders, the wind brushing against my face, and the fresh scent of new leaves and grass. Running is one of the best moments in my life when I can be truly alone with myself — though sometimes, I run with friends too.

It’s not always easy to forget everything and just focus on running. Sometimes, bad memories rush in and drain my energy. Often, I can’t help but stop and walk for a while. Other times, I just switch to another song in my earbuds and keep going. It’s always easy for me to notice kind, honest, and beautiful things — but that also means it’s not hard for me to sense what feels bad, false, or disappointing.

All I can do now is make sure I follow my heart and keep doing what I truly aspire to do. I want to stay strong, knowledgeable, and kind — and I hope I can keep becoming that person, one run at a time.
