A snow globe of people and places stirred today to settle under the awning of a starlit night; at the end of the day, once the world has shimmied itself around it's axis once more, I hope tomorrow morning that I have fallen somewhere new. I want to scratch the sand out and open my eyes to the unfamiliar.
Uh, well, I guess you can keep your jobs, both of you. Thank you, thank you for this opportunity (that is what it is, you know) for money, for resume, for reference and profit, for life, stability, responsibility, and really everything you could possibly offer me, but I need more. I want less, but I need more. I need life, I need love, I need culture, I need adventure. Not this. From having nothing just a short while ago it seems pretty presumptuous, I know, but god help me I can't settle for less. Because no matter how comfortable and sane it all seems and is (which it's not either of, anyway) I won't ever be able to answer honestly, "why not?"
So fuck it, let's go.
