When looking forward at the future, I was once nearly bursting at the seams with the anticipation of leaving everything behind, going off (which has always meant "west," as if I'd fall off the earth if I took a step in the opposite direction) on my own without any familiar crutches (material or social), and a very vague or nonexistent plan of where ( Read more... )
