Challenge

So, I would write about my day.

I'd write about my heartaches
and my heartbreaks.

I'd write about the sadness
and the happiness.

I'd write about everything.

But,
right now,
I'm going to write about something specific.

Freedom.

To have freedom, you must have money.

You have the freedom to go anywhere, to do anything.

You have total ability.

I do not have that.
I don't have the money to challenge myself.

I don't have 3 grand.
I don't have the money I need to go on this school trip.

Not just any school trip.

A challenge.

The Himalayas Challenge to be precise.

A chance for freedom and beauty to become combined in a neatly packaged fund-raising event.

A chance to prove to myself what I can do if I try.

It's making me cry that I can't do this.
I hope these letters are right.
I hope you all get the chance to do the one thing in your life that will prove to yourself what you can do.

[Drop] A Heart, [Break] A Name
Boo.
