Okay,
I know what
you're thinking
.
“What is this? Kid spends a
few days in the hospital and all of his problems are
cured?” But I’m not. I know I’m not. I can tell
this is just the beginning. I still need to face my homework, my
school, my friends. My dad. But the difference between today and
last Saturday is that for the first time in a while, I can look
forward to the things I want to do in my life.
Bike, eat, drink, talk.
Ride the subway, read, read maps.
Make maps, make art.
Finish the Gates application.
Tell my dad not to stress about it.
Hug my mom. Kiss my little sister. Kiss my dad.
Make out with Noelle. Make out with her more.
Take her on a picnic. See a movie with her.
See a movie with Aaron. Heck, see a movie with Nia.
Have a party. Tell people my story. Volunteer at 3 North.
Help people like Bobby. Like Muqtada. Like me.
Draw more. Draw a person. Draw a naked person. Draw Noelle
naked.
Run, travel, swim, skip.
Yeah, I know it’s lame. But,
whatever.
Skip anyway. Breathe.
Live.
-Its Kind of a Funny Story.
