“Human Beings are not designed to be alone. None of God’s creatures are,” Chely Wright. This quote means that you are never alone. This is a lesson I learned on a cool summer night in 2013.
It was the summer before 4th grade. I was sleeping over at my friend Maddie’s house just a third of a mile down the street from mine.
