Brooklyn-bound F Train

My birthday is in less than a month! Holy crap. When did I become 24?! 

I’ve started to think about moving… — West, maybe. Away from NYC. 

But I will go there as an adult. 

First here, I will build a career. And create a style. 

And once all that is done. When I’ve been made old quickly by the City, I will leave this crazy, resentfully-fascinating, exhausting, and exciting place. 

I will take the career I have built and turn it into a resume, that will turn into a ticket, that will fly me away to my final escape.
