Today I got dressed up. I didn't have plans or anyone to go see. I turned my phone off. Closed my laptop.
I put some lipstain on and a nice blue dress with a white belt and gold buckle. I played some Jazz, and then a bit of Bon Iver. I just sat on my couch, all dressed up sipping on a giant glass of water staring out my window.
I wasn't expecting someone to come over wanting to hangout, but in case they did; I was ready. I don't know. Sometimes I wish someone would come over and invite me to go somewhere.
I love this State so much, but there's something inside me that yearns to get out there. I want to fight for the causes I believe in. I want to drop everything and climb aboard a vessel and give the Japanese whaling fleet shit for whaling in the whale sanctuary. I want to get on a plane and go to Africa and help in efforts to stop poaching. I want to hand someone their first drink of clear, filtered water. I want to fight for animal rights.
I wish someone could take me under their wing and bring me on their adventures like these. Then, when I'm ready, I'd go off and continue forth with that they taught me.
I just want to get out. I'll return someday, this will always be my home. But right now, I think it'd be really great to help this world, and I can't do much stuck in high school.
