It’s one of those nights where you don’t want to go to sleep because all you’re doing is waiting till the morning to get in a car and go somewhere. Why not just leave now?

And then no one wants to “run your life“ but you’re graduating in a year and this date is what holds your true freedom and perhaps your life will finally start then; maybe you can make a decision on your own then— like a big one. A high-stakes, all-fucking-in decision that you’ve been sheltered from making all your life. And all that is for me is ditching my car and most of my belongings, not getting a mac as a gift, and getting the fuck on a one-way train for the city I love.
