July 31, 1996
I left Salt Lake City, Utah on the evening of Tuesday, July 30th, 1996 in a one-way car rental packed with everything that I owned stuffed inside. I drove as far as Boise, Idaho and spent the night at the home of my friend Rich. The next morning Rich left for work, I showered and then grabbed my things and locked the door behind me.
I drove the rest of the way, listening to a cassette that Gary had made for me to keep me company. Around 5pm on July 31st, 1996 I crossed into Western Washington and arrived shortly there after at 3740 99th Street SW, Seattle, WA 98126.
Thirteen years later, I am still in Seattle. Though life is much more different today, it is okay now as I know where I stand.
Here's where I stand,
Here's who I am
Love me, but don't tell me who I have to be
Here's who I am,
I'm what you see.
