dream of leaving


I want to run.

Suddenly, I find myself feeling crushed under the weight of a strong and compelling desire to just pack a few bags of clothes and necessities and just leave.

Seattle, LA, North Carolina. I don't care where I go, as long as I go. And I want to badly to go alone. I want to experience the comforting silence of absent voices and low rumble of my tires on the pavement.

I don't want a plan. I want to figure it all out as I go. I want to stop at cute little roadside diners and eat pancakes for dinner.

I need air. This confined feeling is deafening.

It's always something. School, his job, an empty bank account. It keeps me stuck in this awful routine. I just want to go, go, go.

No next step. No confines. Just whatever I dream up next.

Run for the sake of running.
