archive six: "deliver me" or "new york or bust"?

november 28, 2007

so i finally told anne that i may be moving away. if you don't know, anne is my manager at starbucks - she's also become a friend, a good one at that. when i broke the news to her, our eyes met. silence. "are you going to cry, anne?", i asked. "well not right now," she responded. i think she likes me alright.

december 29th will commemorate 2 years since i returned from perth, australia. 2 years - and what do i have to show for myself? the scary thing is that i never wanted to become a person that needs to feel validated for living. education, "x" amount of dollars a year, status and popularity - it all still seems futile.

and yet, i have to get out - i am itching for change, and i don't know what else to do and where to go...
