should i stay or should i go?

in seven months i’m moving to a new place, where things are bigger, people are smarter, and life will be harder. it worries me slightly.

i suppose i could move to a place where societal standards are lower, to escape expectations. to feel like a big fish in a small pond. to curry favor and to gather applause. to feel good.

nah, not my style. i’ve never been one to run from a challenge nor to delude myself .
