Da big reveal

My feet went numb walking down the hallways and my head wouldn't stop spinning.
And with each quiz and each lecture my heart shrank more and more every day.
The desks were made of wood and all of the sudden so was my mind.
Teachers kept hammering nails in and I couldn't seem to hold everything together well enough for them.
So 1/3/15 was the day I decided to drop out of high school.
I spent every day going adventures with either my friends, my mom, or myself.
I fell in love and traveled and experienced the world with no hammers and no nails.
And I felt my heart start to drown my body.
I never thought I would ever love the feeling of drowning.
Trying to breathe was never harder and the taste of air was never more satisfying.
8/19/15 was the day I decided dropping out was probably not that good of an idea. So I started school at Lone Peak.
A new school.
With new people.
And now the wood needed to be built back up so my new teachers had to start from scratch.
4/13/13 was the day I got my first kiss.
6/22/13 was the day I got my first job.
4/30/14 was the day I almost got kidnapped for the first time. And the day I realized desks arn't the only things that shrink hearts.


And 5/3/14 was the day I flew to Paris for the very first time. My friends and I were on our own.
In a new country.
With big eyes and loud hearts.
And we explored.

I chose a date for my pen name because dates are the names of memories and what's more important than a memory?

So now 4/3/16 is a new important date I need to write on the list with all the others because 4/3/16 is the day I let all you homies out there know who I really am.
