Scared to pieces

This feels like the first step into the realm of adults. And I am frightened. Though I pay bills and I have lived in exotic corners of the world, I have never before signed a lease.

All those other places seemed to be obvious. Of course I'm moving to the other side of the continent, the other side of the ocean. No big deal. Now, a mere hour's drive from my parents, and there is a twist inside my chest - a knot.

Maybe I'm just frightened of these hardwood floors and these plaster walls. Maybe my body already misses its synchronization with the earth.

I should open a window. When I breath I want to smell the dirt.
