The first time you don’t so much as fall as you trade one staircase for another.

You finish college. You decide you hate living in your hometown. You buy a one way bus ticket to the other side of the country and leave everything behind.

I loved that ending. Having done a great cross country move more than once, this truly spoke to me.

Thank you for reading. I'm glad that you can relate to relocating, crisscrossing the country is an experience not everyone can understand.

Also: the last line is really what came to me first which is interesting because I am usually great at coming up with first lines and terrible at endings so I'm glad to know that it works! Thanks.

Thank you!

Gosh what a lovely Icon. I don't actually watch TVD (I'll prob binge watch it someday) but I recognized her because I envy her hair so much.

I love this icon. Katherine is my favourite character BY SO FAR IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!! She's in my top five characters of all time, in fact, even though I'm fairly certain that was NOT the intention of the TVD writing team (/forever bitter about things I won't go into in case you do binge watch one day!).

I definitely think binge watching is the way to go. It leaves you less time to pick the show apart and obsess over it's many and varied flaws! Haha!

forever bitter about things I won't go into...

Ha! I definitely have fictional characters I feel that way about.

I finally added it to my netflix queue.

I have been watching Supernatural for nine years so I can put up with a lot of flaws

You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words-I worry that no one reads my lists apart from the people recc'd, so it's nice to hear they're appreciated. :)

Molly!! Thank you so much. It is great to have such lovely comments from you. I might not have made it here if it wasn't for the wonderful people like you who inspired me and may have light a candle or two to keep me safe along the way.
