I´m snowboarding. I mean, I don´t know how to, but I´m flying down the mountain all the same. The thrill of the movement, the exhilaration, it all excites me. Sometimes there are obstacles that I need to avoid. I don´t know how to snowboard though, so sometimes I hit them, but that´s alright. I can´t breathe. I couldn´t breathe at the top of the mountain, the air was too thin, but this time it´s different, it isn´t suffocating. This time it is the wind that takes my breath away as I snowboard down this mountain. Part of me never wants this ride to stop, but even more than that I wish to find what is at the bottom of this rock. I´ve been on this mountain for too long. I´m snowboarding, even though I don´t know how. I hit obstacles. That´s ok though, I´m still flying. When I reach the bottom I won´t be afraid of falling anymore. My soul sings. I can´t wait.

Even though much has been going on in the world, my 2021 has been fine. I’m still able to do a lot of stuff, like ride horses with my friends, and have friends over to my house.

Yes I have online school but it doesn’t bother me and it is almost easier then in-person school. In-person school, a term we thought we would never use.

I still get my work in on time, have good grades, and is able to use breaks for what they are meant to be used for, to do whatever

I still see my grandparents almost everyday and I have my family around me. I get to spend time at home with my puppy and family, books and writing. It is honestly not a bad life. But I’m a bit of a hermit anyways.

When going out in public, I don’t mind it too much. The masks can be a nuscieance but not impossible to use. I would much rather be able to converse with people from inside of six-feet apart but at least we can still converse over all.

I hear much about the world and what is going on all over from my dad, who is helping to find places for max vaccinations, the other day he called me from work and showed us an actual Hog, fighter plane.

So over all, I’m living my life pretty well. I haven’t been sick, no one in my family has and I get to still have fun with the people around me.
