Run.
Run as fast as you can, and don’t stop for
anything except what takes your breath away.
Run from anything that seeks to hold you back
or manipulate you.
Life is short
And your dreams seem so far away
Don’t waste a second waiting around for
someone to catch up with you
And don’t you dare go back.
Run.
Go find what makes you feel alive.
Go find what makes you feel excited and a
tiny bit scared about the next
Five, ten, twenty, eighty
Years you may have on this planet.
This world is big, and you should feel scared
– well, excited AND scared.
You, Little Red, have a purpose for being on
this path.
Don’t stop for just any old wolf who
compliments you and bids you good day.
Run, Little Red, Run!
And don’t run looking for love – it can’t be
found by looking for it.
Take the love you have and give it away.
And it’s okay if the someone you give it to
is you.
So what if you eat all the donuts before you
get to Granny’s? You and Granny can make
more.
And anyway, a few extra calories never hurt
anyone.
Just run.
You’ll be burning fat and feeling lighter. Your head will clear, and things will look
brighter.
You will find that the things you worried
over don’t matter so much anymore.
And if you find yourself circling through old
familiar places, don’t worry that you’re going in circles.
We all need places to call home.
But keep running.
Run for yourself.
Run for your life.
Run for your dreams and the things that make
you you – the things that make you beautiful.
And if, along the way, you notice someone
keeping stride with you,
Don’t be afraid to say Hello.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, my dear.
Just
Run.
Until next time,
Rosie Jane
Until next time,
Rosie Jane
