NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST.


- J. R. R. Tolkien

I don’t want to “get away”. I love my family and friends, everything about the place I’ve grown up. What I want is to take a risk. I can’t stand the thought of looking back years from now when I’m old and home bound, regretting a decision I could have made. Not trying to be dramatic or anything, that will come later. Truth is I didn’t have the guts to say no. So I said yes.


I’m giving up a lot. Senior year. Driving. Prom. Walking in graduation. For what? The answers are endless and still completely, excitingly unknown.


And hopefully not my sanity.


That was a joke, Mom.
