Chapter 1: Lost in Thoughts
Lost in Thoughts
Tonya Taylor was standing on the grass of her front yard, alone. Her eyes flitted around the empty street, then to the sides of the suburban houses, and then to the sky. She felt a wave of loneliness sweep over her. The thought of her friends and family far away left her feeling helpless and overwhelmed, without anyone to turn to.
She felt like a lost vessel in an endless sea, searching for shore. But the longer she stood there, the more she realized it wasn’t a shore she was looking for, but an answer. An answer to the questions constantly nagging at the edge of her mind, questions she had been so desperately trying to ignore.
What was she searching for, and why did it matter? Where did she belong and why? How could she move on, when she was so lost within herself?
With a sigh, Tonya shook her head and turned away. She had to make a choice: bury her thoughts, let her riddles remain unanswered, or find the strength to face them head-on.
Tonya chose to face her thoughts and take control of her destiny.
