Personal Narrative: The Crevasse

Improved Essays
The Crevasse “Adversity is the source of our deepest growth and greatest blessings; embrace it, dare to seek It,” that was a quote from Aron Ralston, who fell down a crevasse and his arm was wedged under a rock, which inspired the movie “127 Hours.”
One day I was going to the creek with my friends, Matthew and Kendal, to hang out. We had this amazing spot that had a bridge that we made and everything. We were bringing further supplies to add on to the spot and make it look more visually appealing. When we arrived at the park we brought all of the supplies down under a bridge. Next we walked down a path towards the secret hangout. While we were walking down the path Kendal suggested, “We should walk farther down the path today and survey if there is anything else deeper into the woods.”
“I don’t know, " I said.
“Yeah, I kinda wanna work on the spot.” Matthew said.
“Fine, ” said Kendal angrily.

Kendal showed us his back, I could deduce from his expression that he was suffering. I noticed tons of red scratches from the trees that he fell through. We were going to leave so we grabbed our supplies and then walked back down the path, to the area under the bridge. Next we climbed up the rocks to the top of the bridge,and then raggedly walked back to Kendal’s house to gather extra supplies and devour some lunch. We grabbed some lunch and planned our return to the secret spot. On the walk back from Kendal’s house the taste of the frijoles in my taco sandwich tasted amazing to my empty stomach. We arrived back to the spot and put together a sign that read “DANGER! CLIFF

We had already discussed this trip the day before: If you change your mind, you better say so early on, because the trail was a long way away from the cabin.

The ground was soft but not mud, purple and yellow and orange flowers bloomed on the sides of the path, birds chirped, why the were we not at the moontower?

One was that I had been in a similar situation before. The other was that I had forgotten about the most obvious clues, footprints.…

    The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper.

This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
