I’m 20 years old, living on Treasure Island in San Francisco trying to make it work.
Every night I come out here to see the city lights and it’s starting to become habitual
Like a pledge of allegiance to my dreams.
That no matter how bad or good the day goes, I devote myself and am absolved of all sin and virtue.
And each time I reset, I learn something new.
Today I almost cried.
I think it was mostly because of the cold like yk the shivers ‘n shi but I also think there was something deeper, something I felt in my soul.
It was the loneliness of growth.
And it’s really lonely facing your deepest problems because no one can solve them for you.
Only you can go through the suffering to make things right.
