Welcome to the first day.
I have planned out three majors, two theses, and a semester abroad in Stockholm.
Keeley, our cat, comes every night now. But sleep, it does not arrive. I am into the twenty-second hour.
Her face as she leaned there, hugging the tree - she was herself after an entire lifetime of searching, the girl I had known as a child. And so, even when faced with the black oblivion of the sea at nighttime, I knew I had to go back, and that I would, and that everything, absolutely everything, would be all right.
