I quit my job on Friday and will be traveling around the world for the next year before going back to school. It’s been about seven months in the making, but I can’t believe it’s finally here. I didn’t really feel it until this morning, walking around Madison Square Park after a dentist appointment. I just started giggling and laughing, for no apparent reason. True, I was under the influence, but that wasn’t the reason why. I realized that I was FUCKING FREE!
I think since I graduated college, and have been doing the 9-7 grind every….single…..day……that I had forgotten what it was like. I can do whatever I want every day I wake up. So I sat in front of the statue of William Seward for half an hour. It’s beautiful. And you know what? For the first time in my 9 years living in New York, I felt like a tourist, and not a citizen. It was awfully strange.
I can’t wait to get on the road. ”L….I….V…..I…..N”
