hello.

i am a  d r i f t i n g  traveller.

i have been here.

and there.

sometimes here.

once here.

but many times here.

i am broad.

my emotions.

my tendencies.

my shoulders.

my travels.


i live abroad.


yes, i mean physically.

but also  d i m e n s i o n a l l y .

because i am sick of living in a world that only plays one

cassette

on repeat again and again


and again and again


i am sick of only two genders


and three colors


and four seasons.


because im honestly quite bored.


and this damn world has melted into one pot… leaving only one flavor left…


and im s i c k of it.


because i am a traveller. and as such, i need you to give me more. but im always left with less.


this is my last hello. my final wave. my sincerest ‘later’.

even though we both know i cant come back.  later.


The author's comments:

This piece was written as way to exhale my worries about starting college. I was truly worried that this world was not enough for me in the sense that I am very different from my peers. I was nervous I would not fit in. That I would not find anything new. That this world is just to simple to understand me.
