i want

to quit college and move to the mountains
to study philosophy and art, history and literature
to be able to sleep for more than two hours straight
to read and re-read
to immerse myself in what i love


to leave this place. 
to be in a different place doing different things.


what i don't want is what my parents want for me. i don't want to drive an expensive car or live in a big house. i could do without. we all could. but how do i tell them?
