Personal Narrative: Just Running Away From A Home

Superior Essays
"Honey, can you come down here please?" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. I knew better then to say no. She was already yelling loudly at the top of her lungs knowing I wouldn 't be listening.

"Coming!" I yelled back getting off my bed, running down the hall to the stairs. I stopped at te top of the stairs looking at my mom dressed in her pencil skirt along with a white fancy shirt tucked in. She alwayes managed to look sophisticated anytime of the day. Along with my dad who wore suits all the time.

She hadn 't noticed me coming down the stairs because of her phone. Always with her phone then with her daughter.

I cleared my throat getting her attention.

I 've always wondered if I was adopted or just switched at birth.

I hated all of this from the big house that was practically a mansion to my life. Was is necessary to have two pools? The amount of rooms the house has is unbelievable. It 's only three of us and we only use two.

I 've thought about just running away, but I didn 't exactly know where. I often sit alone in my room crying wishing for a better life or just no life at all. I don 't even have to worry about my parents walking in on me crying because they don 't care. I really hate my life. Trading life 's with someone sounds amazing right now.

I arrive at the beach feeling as my shoes sink in the sand. I begin kicking it and wanting to feel it as it goes through my toes. I instantly take my converse off and hold them in my arms.

    EN 281 Setting and characterization It was about 6 a.m. Saturday morning and it is an extremely beautiful morning; one of the mornings that makes you stop and realize just how amazing it is at that particular moment in the world. Everything from how nice the summer breeze felt on a freshly shaved face, how the cool water felt as it ran between the toes and bottom of your foot, the smell of fresh cut grass in air, the sounds, or lack of sound, that summer brings in when it is perfect outside. It is very quiet, the only sounds you can hear are the occasional birds chirping as they flew by, an occasional car driving by on the road behind you, a fish that surfaces time from time, the gentle sound of the water as the current brings it in and out,…

A faint wind flowed through our hair while a slight drizzle sprinkled down upon us. The lake’s chilly, dark green water came crashing down onto the beige concrete in heavy waves as we strolled along beside the water, taking in the breath-taking scenery. There had been a faint mist acting as a blanket covering the city of Chicago.…

    During April of 2015, I stepped out of the car and onto the beach for the first time in Destin, Florida; the salty sea stung my nose as I breathed in a refreshing breath of briny air. The first step onto the sand was like a bed of blankets; soft and comfortable. The way the white sand glided onto my feet and squished between my toes felt like heaven. The waves were singing a delicate lullaby, pulling me closer to them. As I walk towards the ocean with the warm sand beneath my feet, the cold waves lap at my ankles, as if they want to take me away.…
