youth

i prefer my days in the midst of a haze surrounded by kind words, sriacha on everything, everything bagels, too much coffee, parking lots, playing the banjo, intoxicated dancing, clothes i can't afford, the world to appreciate, the details to look at piece by piece, friendship, croquet, new faces, old stories, jazz and the martini, slowly but surely making my way out of here

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

everything seems to be looking up in my small little nook of the universe, my best friend is in town from colorado to keep me company, that of which i’ve been physically aching for, for months. I’m about to get a new job (fingers crossed) and will be able to peacefully quit the corporate america slave labor I am currently employed at and in turn make much more moolah to carelessly spend in London. I get off probation a month early, my original court date was January 3rd ( I would’ve had a 9 o’clock curfew on new years -_-) but I finished my 70 hours, classes, etc and wrote quite a professional request letter resulting in my emancipation from the municipal court of edmond at approximately 9:30 a.m. on December 6th.  I have three weeks and one semester left of my high school career, if I make it back from London that is. I have all week off from school and work, the cool air makes me feel alive, its fingerless gloves and apple cider and whiskey and endless billiards and familiar laughs that have replaced soundly the emptiness I’ve been feeling since August 2nd. Its looking forward, and never looking back. Turning into salt and embracing the mystery the next year holds for me. Its missing the time before all my friends went to college, before them being able to experience things before me, but its the fact that in no time I’ll be standing right beside them never skipping a beat.  Its cold parking lots, dead batteries, and shitty winter coats. Shivering and chapped lips, learning from last year and knowing that I’m okay on my own. My own being interconnected with people who truly give half a shit about me. Its the fact that I’ll be moving away from anything remotely familiar in a matter of months. Its being at a crossroads but not being confused, relief of angst, removal of anxiety, acceptance in its purest form.
