The sky is so blue today, the clouds so white. The sky is my favorite part about this planet. I love its wrath, its beauty. And today its beauty was trying to persuade me to be happy, but I think I've forgotten how. Yes, I smile, I have moments of joy, but my eyes water when I yawn and sometimes it is my excuse.
My dad asked me about my senior trip, a trip which, traditionally, is some sort of road trip taken with a group of friends after graduation. I have a car. I have a road. I have numerous destinations I would love to go to. I'm just missing friends. When he asked, I couldn't think of anyone to go with, at least not anyone who possibly could. I have close aquaintances or casual friends but no one close enough, in distance or relationship, to accompany me on a senior trip. We aren't as close as we once were and I couldn't imagine going anywhere with them. My older brother couldn't either. The only person he was close enough to was a girl and great lengths were taken to keep a sort of chaperone but they were able to go together. I don't think that could happen for me though. It...it just wouldn't work out. So I guess I'm staying home.
