I'm claustrophobic. Cliche expectations weigh me down. They always have. Go to college, get married, have kids. Stay in a mid-sized town just like this one. I'm expected to be normal. I'm claustrophobic. I want out. I want to go. I want to do things. I want to travel. I want to not be normal. I want to live. Experience. I want that. I want so much of it that I don't know what to do with it all. I don't want society's ideas bogging me down like they are now. I want to get up and go. I want to be free. What is life if you don't ever live? If you never leave? If you follow the crowd? WHAT IS THE POINT? High School sucks. I'm going to get it over with. Then I'm out. I'm going to travel, maybe take semesters of school here and there. But I want to travel. I'm claustrophobic. One thing's for sure, I'm going to get out. Graduation will not be a sad time for me. It'll be the key to freedom. Get jobs, go to school, save up money and GO.
GO. GO. GO.
i'm claustrophobic.
i need to go.
Get good grades in high school, so I have my options open. Education is important, so many people fail to see that. Without knowledge, we are worthless. We need information, ON EVERYTHING. Study, learn, process.
I can do this.
I can get out.

  1. Omg, I feel the same way! These expectations are killing me, I always feel so pressured by everyone around me- "School! College! Work!"

    Bullshit, I say ;)

    You should consider a gap year after your senior year of high school, thats what I'm thinking about. You can travel all over the world for not a ton of money, and even get paid for working at the same time! Heres the website my guidance counselor gave me: www.interimprograms.com

    Sorry for the long comment haha <3
