Meeting new people [Will]

"Change your thoughts and change your world."
- Norman Vincent Peale

As I walk through the park, the only place in this district where brown dead and dried grass along with dieing and plagued trees infect the land that isn't conquered by factories. Here the grass is mostly green and the trees are healthy enough to climb. This is because the park is far enough away from the factories so that it doesn't soak up the smog, close enough where people actually want to go to it, and well tended enough for it to continue living. It's really a wonderful place. It gives me hope. That even in the most awful of places a gorgeous creation that nearly everybody loves can grow. All it needs is a little tender loving care and it's off to the races. That's what I have to keep telling myself.

As I walk up and then lean against one of the trees an apple falls to the ground right in front of me. I am at first intrigued as to what it is, and then see it is a partially eaten apple. That's such a waste. I look up in the tree and see a girl sprawled out in it's branches, looking more relaxed than anything. I watch her for a few moments before I decide to say something,

"What are you doing up there?"

"I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
Til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away"
- Kelly Clarkson, Breakaway.
