The Clearing

As we were walking through the woods, I set my eyes on a clearing. I don't know why, but I felt that it was drawing me in. I took a step forward when I heard a muffle scream from behind me. My friend looked at me and her cousin with a frightened look. "I think I saw something move. And it was big."

"Let's go." Said her cousin. They started to power walk back towards the little river, where we had came from. I just looked at the clearing.

"It's probably nothing."

"No buddy, let's go." She called out. I knew I wouldn't be able to change her mind, so I started to follow her back. I kept looking back behind me, where the clearing was. Apparently I was walking too slow because my friend came back and grabbed my arms.

"Seriously, let's go." She started to pull me and I decided to do as she said and followed her, but every once in a while, I'd look back to where that clearing was, even when it was out of sight.

Why do I feel like this. Why do I feel like I should just turn around and go back to that clearing. What was I expecting to be there? Leaves, plants, dirt, mud, but what else? Maybe I knew nothing was there, but I was hoping for something, hoping that something would happen. I always am. I'm always hoping that something will happen. That something will happen that will change my life. Something that will make me different. There's a fear I have though. This fear that when my life does change, it does so for the worse.

This is what's weird about life, just by seeing a clearing, I'm able to figure these things about myself. As if, it wasn't a clearing in the woods, but a clearing in my mind.
I'm sorry if that ending was too cheesy/corny for y'all. 

Real life scenario.
