On-screen text

You ever go on a walk and realise that you're at the exact place that you tried so hard not to be at? Feel like you failed, didn't it? You try and make a decision, but you don't know how to make that decision because you've become the exact person that you tried so hard not to become. So then what. What do you do? Huh? Maybe going for a walk isn't a good idea. Cause then I'm just stuck in my mind and I. My mind does loops of the same thing over and over again rather than just clearing my head. Cause apparently walks clear my head. Right? Right.
