freedom

snuggly lil gus

the end is near. it's so close i can almost taste it. i'm beginning to realize how much i will miss this place. Portland has been my home, even though it never really felt like one, for almost two years. i have always felt like this city was trying to spit me out, over and over again. these have probably been the hardest two years of my life and i leave a much different person than i came here.

it's time to go back home and make a new one. onward to new experiences and new memories. i'm excited and scared, but i'm looking forward.
