Follow These 28 'Desire Paths' People Made On Their Own

Human desire can be so strong sometimes that it cannot be contained. It is in human nature to want to explore, wander, and make new pathways. People don't even realize they are doing it until it has made an impact on the grass and lawns. It is pretty interesting to see how the quiet, subconscious, yet similar thoughts of so many people can add up to make a serious dent in the world, but in an okay way.
Desire paths are pathways and walkways that have been carved out simply due to people wanting them or needing them there. Most people have probably seen a desire path, and most people have probably even walked one. These paths and routes all began because someone saw a simpler route than the one paved or gravelled.
Desire paths are interesting; they are all over the world, and some people have taken it upon themselves to photograph the coolest ones so everyone can see them. Here are just a few desired paths that folks created on their own.
