I have hope for a better life, but I'm afraid to grasp for it. I know I have a bright future ahead of me, but it's... well, ahead of me. I feel like I'm a senior in high school again, except I

I know you've been zenning it for a while and are about to go to Reed. You're not like most people, right? I'm not either. Are you confused about whether you should stay or go?

I hope you're into strange correspondences that come out of the blue, ha.

Oh, hi!

Neglectfully, I just got your message... I'm up for correspondance. I left the center on Monday-- in good standings with everyone. That's not to say that my stay got any easier at any point. So, I'm Mount Baldy bound for the summer, I'll be on the Mountain... actually, exactly a week from now. Anyway, in the meantime, feel free to email me at emily.robinson@gmail.com. Or not, whatever's cool.
