I stood there in the cold october water in lake michigan with a group of almost strangers.all sharing the feeling of the water on our bare skin.we shared little bits of eachother that night. that was the event i was waiting for and what brought me away from home. freedom,adventure,letting go of the fear of people. I did many things i have never done that night,and it made me see that holding back was only making this harder to deal with. So i vowe to myself to have more nights like that.
