i'll spread out my wings and fly

So tomorrow is my final day of high school. Forever. I mean, unless I get bit by a vampire and have to move around all the time and stay in high school in order to keep up appearances...But I doubt I'll encounter any tonight.

The only way I feel sad about leaving South is thinking that as of tomorrow, I will no longer have a free education. I didn't really have a good "high school experience" I guess. I never skipped a class. I never went to any parties. I had average grades. All in all, I was a pretty good kid.

It's not that I wanna change it, more like see what else is out in the vast world that is before me. I want to drink good coffee while sitting outside people watching on the street writing down nonsense that no one else can understand. I want to wear bright red lipstick when it's raining outside. I want to watch the sunrise.

I want to live. And that's what I'll do.

Check back to see my progress!

Go Forth

Lately, I've been looking at the world though the eyes of a college student. I'm 80% sure that I'm going to go to Columbia College Chicago, but that's beside the point. I'm getting really sick of staying in one place for too long. Traveling is really high up on my list. So is quitting my job, but in order to travel, money has to come from somewhere.

I want to get into a car and drive away and not have to think about school or work or anything. I don't want to get hurt by a guy again. I want to leave this life I have behind and just go out there and see the world that I want to write about. I want to get my tatoo. I want to live. Is that too much to ask?
