47 Days

msquared's picture

47 days until I'm at USC.

47 days until I'm free from my parents, and I can be who I want to be not just for 7 hours a day while I'm at school or the few hours I'm with friends on the weekend, but 24/7.

47 days until I'm living in a city for the first time in my life, and culture and diversity and GAY PEOPLE will be alive all around me, rather than being merely dusted over like crops, out of Midwestern suburbia's flawless conservative eyesight, which sees only the things it is willing to accept.

47 days until I can put my arm around a guy, look him in the eye, and call him my boyfriend. (At the moment I can only do the last two, via skype. =])

47 days until I'm at the best film school in the world, training to be one of the best screenwriters in the world.

47 days until I'll finally feel like I'm home, even though I'll be 2000 miles away from what everyone else tries to tell me is my REAL home.

47 days until the rest of my life.
