my birthday is tomorrow and everyone is small in comparison. my house, my friends, my family, my job, all of it is dwarfed. by twenty-two. it feels mythic. sun in cancer, moon in aries, just where it was when i was born. i’ll be sitting on the edge of my natal waters and when i dive in, i will come up a different person. not different, true. i feel it already. like my skin is stone. buzzing with static. my gaze like iron. immovable. unshakable. a force, driving forward. something pulling me like a beacon. i won’t wait up, i won’t shrink, i won’t miss it. i’m leaving. i’m moving. nothing is stopping me.
