at the very most, there's like two months left. the world holds so much more potential for me now than it did before, a good thing indeed.

i remembered today, there was an incident when i was 14 or so, where john hopkins university offered that i attend classes from their school, but my family was unable to afford it. the though made my mind race for hours about the vast array of circumstance that leads people on paths they haven't asked or planned for.

who the fuck would i be now if i was going to an ivy league school and living the life that so many parents want their children to have?
i'd fit perfectly into a cookie cutter, and portray my ideas as perfectly original, knowing damn well they were just some manifestation of the things i had FOUND to be original.

i realize now, it's for the better that i am able to live now as i would have lived before, and have some indeffinate grasp on the world as i do so, as opposed to a throw back of tained ideas, and trying so hard to learn what life is about before ever knowing what life even IS.

these days before you go into the military or policeforce they require that you at least live on the outside world, to better understand the goals we all want to attain. and the same with schools several years ago. T o create a gap year of life experience before going on to further education.

Who the fuck am I, now that I'm in an ivy. I feel as though my life is now stuck on the ivy laden path to what society, or at least the elite therein, have deemed ideal...
But who am I to complain? I have this man, he's perfect... maybe you know him ?
