My life was my own and I could do anything I wanted, yet I felt nothing. As I stood staring at the walls, searching inside myself for some kind of emotional response, the nothingness suddenly welled up inside me, like a physical mass, so vast and empty and infinite I was terrified. The very first time I went running, it was from that terror, from the possibility of being sucked down into emptiness for ever, and as I ran I discovered I was able to feel; pressure in my lungs, pain in my legs, my skin perspiring, the pounding of my heart. My routine was erratic, I ran when I felt like it, usually five or six times a month. So was my style. It was nothing like that of the runners I grew accustomed to seeing, the ones who regulated themselves, jogged two or three times a week, who did a warm-up first and stretching exercises afterwards, the people for whom the activity was a hobby. I ran like my life depended on it, as fast and as hard as I could. Sometimes, passers-by would look beyond me as I ran towards them, with fear in their eyes, trying to see who or what was pursuing me, trying to work out whether they should be running too. As long as I was feeling, I didn’t care.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Yvvette Edwards" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/yvvette-edwards/my-relationship-had-ended-and-red-had-taken-my-son-my-life-was-my-own/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/783/yvvette-edwards-79439_fear_my-relationship-had-ended-and-red-had-ta_2991854.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/783/yvvette-edwards-79439_fear_my-relationship-had-ended-and-red-had-ta_2991854.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/783/yvvette-edwards-79439_fear_my-relationship-had-ended-and-red-had-ta_2991854.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“My relationship had ended and Red had taken my son.
