Love. People threw that word around like carzy.

The world is vast and meant for wandering. There is always somewhere else to go.

I stopped wanting to float away from my life, because in the end my life was all I had. I'd walk the Fairmont campus and look up to the sky and I wouldn't see myself drifting off like some lost balloon. Instead I saw the size of the world and found comfort in its hugeness. I'd think back to those times when I felt like everything was closing in on me, those times when I thought I was stuck, and I realized that I was wrong. There is always hope. The world is vast and meant for wandering. There is always somewhere else to go.

Sprawled out on the front lawn Looking up at an ordinary sky It could fall on me and somehow be The day I didn't die
