10 days

In ten days I leave home. I leave waking up at 11 and hearing the violin downstairs. I leave late night Netflix and contemplating the universe with my dog. I leave the sound of my dad coming home from work. I leave the yelling and the dishes and the loud house fan. I leave the feeling of walking through the door and feeling safe. I leave my mom. I leave my dad. I leave Lauren. I leave Haley. I leave Max. I leave Jordan, even though he already left me. I just leave. 

But I'll finally arrive.

And I've been waiting to arrive for a long time.
