I'm Not Who Everyone Thinks I Am

38.

I am almost out of here.
That’s what Brian told me today.

It’s been three months, but it’s almost over.
I will finally be out of this place, and ready to start a life of my own.

Of course, I’ll have to figure out what to do about school.
I’m thinking of taking all the money I saved and finding a place of my own.

I could crash with a friend…
Oh wait, I don’t have any of those.

No!
I’m not allowed to think bad thoughts anymore.
Of course, I do all the time, but since I don’t say them, apparently I’m sane.

I’ll miss Brian, though.
He means a lot to me.

He’s helped me through so much.
I don’t think it will be easy to say goodbye.

But I will do it.
Maybe.

Brian or not, I’m out of here.
