Outrunning the Past


What would you do if the people and things that tethered you to the world disappeared one by one? For me, life has always been about running. Running from a broken home, from the ghosts of my past, and from the pain of losing my brother, Jake. Armed with nothing but a beat-up van, my loyal dog Max, and a photo of a beach I’ve never seen, I set out on a journey to find the one person who always protected me. But when Max vanished at a lonely rest stop, I was forced to face my deepest fear. Being utterly alone.

This isn’t just my story about searching for a lost brother or a missing dog. It’s about unraveling the ties that bind us to others, confronting the truths we’re too scared to admit, and discovering who we are when everything else is stripped away. As I pieced together the clues Jake left behind, I uncovered long-buried secrets about my family, and myself, that changed everything.

Raw and unflinching, my journey is for anyone who’s ever felt lost, for anyone searching for a place to call home, and for anyone wondering if the journey matters more than the destination. It’s about love, loss, and the unexpected beauty of finding yourself along the way.

The road ahead may break me or it might just set me free.
