"Always Running Around”

-Grandpa Romeo




Uncertainty with the future: When i get that endless high and which provokes my mind to drift off into day dreams. When I decided to study in Ireland I remember that clearly. My heart was beating out of my chest for about three days before and I could not sleep at night for the life of me. I was on a constant adrenaline rush for about a month. The first run I went on was in the middle of September. It was the longest run I had ever gone on. My mind wondered off in thoughts as I was apprehensive about leaving the country, but more excited then I had ever been in my life. The leaves were just turning and the wind whistled under my nose. The morning was beautiful and unmatched to any description I could ever write.

I’m in love with with beautiful autumn days. I went down the same trails before I left, and they were the best mornings of my life.
In Ireland, the trails in the mornings and as the sun was just about setting were beautiful. I could not even describe the feeling I had when I ran there.
I can not think of a more beautiful place.

I love New York, but when I left Ireland, a part of me left with it.
I am not the same person that I was when I left.

The world is your oyster..”

The Road Less Taken

- Robert Frost

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20
