crying about new york
so i cried about new york for the first time today
yea...
i know
you wanna know what made me cry?
i've been stressing about residency right
and i didn't know if i got in
turns out i did
i checked out my residency email
i thought i'd get a notification through my email, or by letter
but turns out you have to check it yourself
and so i did
and i got into the residency i wanted and i already have a roomate
and thats when the waterworks came in
i'm moving you guys
i'm seriously...moving
this isn't your average "i'm going to Carelton, or i'm going to Queens, or wherever type thing"
this is "I'm moving to New York...and i'm not coming back."
i mean...this is the beginning of the end of ottawa
its all gone
this is where my family came to, to escape a bloody communist war
this is where we set up our first businesses
this is where i learned about hip hop
this is where i first bgirled
where i first spat poetry
this is every first
well
except for kissing a cute boy
that was vancouver
but thats beside the point
i'm going
going
gone
and i know i'm going to love it
i know i'm going to make it and go beyond that
although i doubt myself i know
that i'm pretty fucking amazing for my age
and that there may be a million people better than me
but that doesn't mean they'll make it
its about that drive
which i know i have
but...
my car is taking me away from everything
and everyone
and maybe i dont have alot of people holding me back here
no boyfriend
no friends i've known since grade school
its just
i'm leaving
and its hard
i'm not going to be here in less than one month
29 days
i'm leaving saturday august 19
to arrive to sign into residence from 10:30-12 p.m sunday morning
and then
my parents will leave me
and i...
will stay
when i tell people
"i'm never coming back"
they're like "thats not true! you'll be back for christmas! and for the summer"
yea...3 weeks for christmas, maybe 2 months for the summer...and then i'm finding my own apartment in new york...and thats it.
i mean...i may not come back for christmas next year if i have my own place
why would i visit in the summer if all the summer fun i'd have is in NYC?
the people who need to see me
will come visit
so why would i come back to ottawa?
i'm gone
i'm gone kids
i'm gone
its not even that its scary anymore
this is a strengthening of my already strong character
but you know
i guess
well
...
fuck...
i'm going to new york you guys
and thats final
in the words of strong bad and the teen girl squad
ITS OVER!
