  1. I was out on the road, when i came across a little sign that had read “YOUR LIFE HERE”. i turned right onto the road that the sign had lead too. I came across a vast open space full of igns that had read about the harships and good times in life. That was when i realized, that life takes many detours.

  2. detour is to stay where you are in your music career. no touring, just sitting and playing music for your own enjoyment. well at least for me, this is the best way to indulge in your music. though my definition of this word may be wrong, but at least i can relate a little bit.

  3. I took a detour yesterday on my way home. It was kind of fun, actually. I ended up at the same destination, but I just saw a bunch of cool trees and houses. They weren’t expensive houses, or cheap either. And the trees? Well, I just LOVE nature. So that was pretty cool. I don’t even remember what street it was though.

  4. A man detoured into infinity and then died in vain because of history. History always detours to violent things WWI is proof of this. Humans are stupid and so are you reading this so stop please.

  5. I took a detour through the library. I didn’t hear as the librarian yelled at me to slow down, I needed to get to room 12 before anyone could stop me. It was my mistake, and it was me who had to fix it. I turned the corner.

  8. Walker moved into his apartment yesterday. The manager absent, a locksmith was sent for. Perhaps they’ll reimburse him.

  9. We took a detour on our way to class today. Unfortunately it lead us to the bathroom where we heard two people doing exactly what we were planning on doing. I’m glad. I never wanted to do it in the first place.

  10. Walking past a place which holds great untold misfortunes. A place that could be home or could be a place to throw a party. A place to be weary of and a place that showers us in gold. Feed me O ancient relic of past future.

  11. I would like to take a detour. A detour from everything in my life. To just get up, and go. Things are different than they used to be, and it’s not like im trying exactly to run away, but I just need a temporary escape. i need a chance to spread whats left of my wings and to fly away for a few days. To run off into the big bad world and make it mine. To escape the insanity and LIVE.

  12. we took a detour round the Notre Dam,
    took our pictures at a lemonade stand,
    jumped in puddles with flushed cheeks,
    and counted down the twenty weeks,
    ’til you flew away and left me all alone,
    still searching, still longing for a place called home.

  13. The way Mark looked at it, it was just another detour in life. Like his grandpa had always said, ‘If it was easy, everyone would do it’. He would become a writer one day, he was sure of it. He would one day be able to do what he loves, for now – he’ll work at the bank.

  19. I filled up my tank and sped back onto the highway. “Addie!” James exclaimed. “Go left!”

    “You’ve got to be kidding,” I muttered. “Look at that street. It’s practically flooded!”

    But we had all the time in the world. There was no hurry. We weren’t expected anywhere for at least four weeks.

  20. He took the detour not really knowing where it would go. He’s changed in the last year or so. He never would have done something like this then, something so unpredeictable and spontaneous. He only hoped it would lead him to something, something more interesting that what he was.

  23. Detour. There are many meanings to this word. There can be a detour to your day, or a detour to life. Someone once told me that he was taking a “detour from love”. What did this even mean?, I thought. And then I realized: fear. Detour is really fear in another language. We detour because we’re too afraid of the task ahead.

  26. There were many places we could go to, many places we could hide. But I would always end up at the detour, so I can easily go back to you. You needed space, I needed you.

  28. I was on my way. Running late, but on my way. That’s when I met her. Give me a hand, she asked. Just for a second.

    Looking now, at the wife looking at me. Thinking back. It was not a bad detour.

  31. Sometimes, life is all about detour. When you think about it, it really is that way. History repeats itself, so why not let your life detour, so that everything just falls into place. Twisted.

  32. Took a detour
    Now I’m left only wanting more
    What am I feeling like this for?
    All you do is ignore
    Now I’m sending you out the door
    And I don’t want anymore.

  33. i took a detour the other day. i tried to make it on time to my appointment, but due to traffic i was too late. I don’t like detours. they make me frustrated and often times late. i don’t think that anyone likes them, but detours make it possible for things to get done!

  35. right now im on detour. taking a break from life to see what else is out there. my detour is just to drive. just to see where this winding road will take me. if i end up right where i would have gone in the first place, thats ok. if i end up somewhere entirely different from where my original path would have taken me, thats alright too.

  38. I took a detour in my life and now I’m here. Lost? No just not to my final destination. Where is that? No clue. I’m happy on my detour I think I’ll travel this way a bit longer.
