I remember walking around in circles, around trees and stuff pretending I was on an adventure. I was with my friend, walking back to school from lunch. I would circle a tree and tell her all about my crazy adventure, making up weird details, like “Oh my gosh! I was eaten by a lion!” or something.

Hello my darling, hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal. Give me a kiss by wire. Tell me your hearts on fire. Give me a telegram, tell me all about the things that you see. Tell me I haven’t been there, tell me you want me to. We are all waiting, on a mating, a mating two by two, and with hands of blue.

how do you just write? i don’t know what to say. my friend told me yesterday that to be successful in life you have to use your talents. what if you don’t have (or know of) any talents? does that mean i’ll be unsuccessful? i can spell, for the most part; does that mean i’ll become a lead speller in a spelling bee? i don’t think so. you can’t flip burgers using grammar so… what the hell?

As i drove down the long, narrow road, I came to a place where the road forked in two directions. One road had a sign in the centre of the street, with the words “Detour, take other route” written in bold letters on its orange surface. I turned to the right and drove down a dirt road that looked as if it had not been used in some time. As I drove, I came upon a number of small stone formations.

Once I was driving from San Diego, CA to Reno, NV and there were a TON of detours along the highway… it was quite adventourous spending two extra hours avoiding all of them. Silly little detours, but necessary indeed.
Mallory Smith
i went to the park and i say a sign “detour” it read. so i went to follow it down the path, which i had never seen before. at the end of the road there was a giant tent. a one you would see at the circus, there whe
Bleh
driving down the road with a car full of friends and wondering why the sign says we have to go another way. we get lost. smoke all our cigarettes and start getting really irritated with eachother. step out for a breather. finally get back into the car and find our way. its all nothing but a laughing matter, really. But very much not needed.

i am on a detour of life, everything goes around me. nothing going through me. i never get to the place i want to go, or maybe that place just keeps running away from me. further and further it goes. im loosing sight of everything i’ve wanted. will i ever get anything or is this journey worthless
ali
Detour, such an interesting word. Sometimes, they are vile things. Sometimes you may look at a police field stop as a detour. A friend’s father of mine once went around one, not because he had done anything wrong or was under the influence, but because he didn’t want to deal with the police. I took us a half hour to find a way around them. In other words, fuck the detours!
Jordan
It’s the word that men use when they are lost. Driving around in circles is not a “detour,” men. No, it is only an attempt to maintain your supposed superiority over us females. Nice try.
Randi
it was way too far to go, but i had no choice. i had to go past his house, to meet his eye, to remember all of the pain that bastard had caused me, and really, who wants to do that? So i slept in the car rather than going home
Karen Corbeil
taking a detour would be something you wouldnt expect. its could take you to unknown places.
Merging into a path that would even be called a “fork” in the road… nothing is ever planned. it is always inevitable.
Taking detours would make things more interesting.
Dominique
The path detoured down into a vast revene, where numerous cars of all colors of the rainbow dotted the coastline with their rusted ruins shining in the late afternoon sun. Some would find this a tragic site, however Robert saw it as a beautiful piece of artwork.

So I feel like my entire life has been a huge detour. I wake up every morning with a plan and somewhere to be and all day I struggle to get there. It makes me wonder if attempting to achieve anything is worthwhile
Paige
This is much harder than it seems, I get lost way too easily sometimes!!!
emily
if i could take a detour in the past of my life, id go through it all, relive every moment, every tear, every laugh, every love, every heartbreak, and just try to fuigure out why i ended up this way, why do i not trust?
why?
Seemingly a barrier to where I want to go
But be patient
Detours often send me to where I need to go
Mary
This is basically what I am doing with my life. I have left the beaten path and am now journeying into the unknown. This suits me fine because, I have taken more detours in my life than most and have ended up no

I took a detour
it took me to a place
with long green grass
and red brick buildings
and a boy
who smiled
and said,
“I like your red cheeks
your green eyes
your freckles
your smile.”
I took a detour
and it got me nowhere.
But I did like the red brick.

A detour in life
Bending you around from where you want to go
A short cut
Or a long path
It may lead somewhere, you don’t want
or
it may lead you
the the most beautiful world
that your eyes
have ever seen
Detour
Patrick
touring a castle in germany the stairs only went up. well the sign only let the visitors ascend, terrifying jim stoddard in the process. a 7 year old sometimes is afraid that when he goes up, he may not come down. so he detoured. down. and was no longer afraid.

How is that detours on roads with repair are never actually helpful? For some reason they always take you too far out of your way. And not that I don’t like the unexpected, it’s just that there is never really much to see on those detours in particulat.
Carli
Take a detour. Change your life. Change everything about you. Deal with the changes. Roll with the changes. Roll with the punches. It’s all about change. It will never stop changing. You have to embrace it, not be afraid of it. It isn’t all bad. It’s all good. I’m not sure how much longer I have to write, but I want to take a detour.
Anitra Gaines
Once I was driving to work. I saw a sign that said “detour”. Ahhh f*ck I thought – I have to be to work in five minutes, and I’m never going to make it on time with a detour… Crap… I began to follow the detour when a white rabbit jumped in the road. Bam. So much for the rabbit…
Chris
The detour i took was filed with cracks in the road. They caught at my feet and dragged me down until I was at eye level with them. I suppose I needed to be humbled.
Sarah
which way?
how do I take life in my hands?
sirens blaring.
Which way?
Randi
Always the best route. a detour is to accept the interruptions and therein, real life. A detour is the beginning of a journey you could not foresee, thus a journey that will actually take you to a destination and not a preconceived, desired space.
Rachael
i never had a plan, but it seemed that way to everybody else. it seemed like i was the one person in the universe who always had their shit together, who always knew exactly which fork to take. but damn, did i get lost. i mean, literally, too. my parents refused to buy me a gps. i can’t tell you how much nicer it was to drive when i had absolutely no idea where i was or how to get there.
Rachelle
a different waty to go an error a mistake a different timing thoughts clogging you up never know which way to turn different directions up down sideto side a mistake something you rgret interchangable wirht error life is a detour when you go where you regreat never having to wonder if you madea mistake an uncomfortable detour do you wonder i wonder sometimes it’s all just different there where we wanted to go movement quiet up and silent the detour and the moverment.

He swore, hitting the wheel with his fist in frustration. He would be even later than he expected. Detour.
He smiled. Things would get more interesting. Detour.

Avoiding difficulties can often lead to a lack of determination. Laziness encourages people to lose motivation and when you aren’t forwarding yourself in life you are achieving nothing.

To the left. To the Up. U-turn U-turn. There is no wrong way to go, just go. You get there when you get there. Time is the only factor, which shouldn’t even matter.
Ishmael
detours are the marker points of change in our lives, they can produce heartbreak, sheer joy, or both, but ultimately shake you in some way and shape you forever after.
dave
I took the detour as soon as the road provided me with one. I yearned for the freedom that the new road could offer. I new way out of my mediocre and mundane life. Who knew that there were such options for someone like me? I once thought that I had the world was my oyster, that the entire universe was in front of me – but now, but now it seems I have no more options.
Gabriella
So it came that i had gone to so much trouble, through valleys, over seas, above and below mountains, through fires of love and hatred. All to arrive here… This sign of all the possible signs.
“Detour”

I love you lots.
I’m taking so many detours about saying how I feel.
Maybe you loved me, but just forgot
To tell me how you really feel.
AstralBobcat
we were driving down the road just the two of us with no thought in our heads but when and where we would know where we ought to be and then we knew. we suddenly knew we needed to go to the ocean. though it was february and the air froze in our throats. we turned off on the side road that led to the sand forever just us driving to the water
rose
I feel like my relationship is taking a detour. We were on this track of love and trust and lifelong companionship. We’ve detoured into petty fights and nasty sarcasm. When does it end? when do we get back on the right path again? I miss us. The REAL us.
IW
I think I missed an important detour in my life. The detour where I’m taken somewhere that I can enjoy. Because I continue going on this same path every day and I get nowhere. I don’t think I’m making any progress, I’m in this same rut. I’m still struggling with talking to the opposite sex, still feeling lonely, still struggling with school, still exhausted, and still self-loathing. Where’s my detour? Where’s the detour that takes me to a better place in life?
