Journal 20 - Self Reflection and Taking a Break from Society

It is always a good idea to take some time away form the norm and get to to know yourself a little bit better. Take Bobby here for example, he used to be very sad about everything in his life and in the world around him. Bobby was kind of a loner. He was that person who did not have any family still around. He had had no friends for who knows how many years, and he just did not really like his life. One day he decided to go for a nice little walk in the woods. This was not just your casual walk through the woods in my backyards, he was walking through the woods in back country West Virginia. He just kept walking and soon enough it was night time. He just decided to camp out that night in a tree so he did. In the morning Bobby woke up and decided to go for another walk. So he walked all that day too. Once again he slept in the woods. He kept doing this every day and soon enough he was connected to the world. He was living on mother nature's nurturing. Soon enough he was in Georgia. He had walked through most of West Virginia and all of North Carolina until he was in Gainesville Georgia. You see, Bobby really liked Gainesville. He walked into the gas station at the town and he fell in love with the cashier, Rhonda. It seemed as if by spending a year in the woods Bobby had become more sociable and he knew his limits now; he had none. So Bobby and Rhonda fell in love. Soon enough Bobby became a public image for the town of Gainesville and he soon ran for mayor. He won in a landslide result and he made the society a perfect one all because he took a year break from civilized life. As in Bobby's case it was nice to take a break from society and reflect on himself.
