The Rip Tide

This is it. The countdown begins. I've packed four months of life into two suitcases & am anxiety-ridden & tear-stained. This is real. I'm leaving everything I know behind in four days & will be gone for four months doing volunteer work out in the wilderness. I'm terrified, but there are beautiful things to see & do out there. The city is making me tired. I want to breathe good air, play in the snow, be cold & hungry, work hard, not care what time or day it is, write to you, miss you, find a new vigor for everything ever, appreciate home ...

& I want to see the stars, you guys."The mountains are calling & I must go." (drops mic, exits)
