So.
After a great girls night with my lovely sister I just got a great big kick in the ass.
One. I've realized that I'm totally DONE with South Fucking Florida. There's so much more for me out there.
Two. I really want to go/live/move to NYC. I fucking love it there.
Three. Not only do I wanna go there, I want to go everywhere I've ever wanted to travel to. Why? Because I owe it to myself. I'm 20, I live at home (thankfully), and I feel that I owe it to myself to do something I want to do for the sake of doing it for myself.
So, I have decided to go to Portland, OR... for real. A place that I've wanted to go to since I was about 16. I'm going to discuss it with mom tomorrow. I'm sure she'll just LOVE it. But, I really don't care. Why can't I go somewhere I want? She won't be paying for it, I won't let it interfere with school. I'm going for the sake of going. I'm going for the sake of broadening my horizons. I'm going for the sake of TRAVELING. Because I'm fortunate enough to go. Because I have that option. I don't want to be the person that says 10 years from now: "What if I DID go to Portland?" Nope, I'm not letting that happen to me.
Also, I'm sick and tired of holding my tongue... I know it may seem like I already don't. But, I do. I'm just going to say whatever is on my mind. No sugar added. Fuck it.
