I inhale as deeply as i can, trying to imprint as much as possible in my mind, so as not to forget a single detail.

I am still in disbelief it’s finally here.

For years i have told myself ‘just a little longer’, waiting impatiently for this day to come and now that it’s here I can’t help but blink rapidly to stop the overcoming grief from spilling out of my eyes.

It was never supposed to really come. I never meant it. I never really wanted to leave, It’s just what i was supposed to want. ‘Anywhere but here’.

The alarm on my watch begins to ring, signalling an overwhelming sense of discomfort and heartbreak. It’s time to leave.

My hand unwillingly moves to grab the handle of my suitcase and my vision clouds unbearably.

This is really it. I know in my soul, that it’s time to go.
