i will be 30 next week. i never thought i would make it here, but here i am, alive. more importantly, it is the 10 year anniversary of when i dropped out of college; a move i count as the first choice i ever made for self-preservation. 87, 07, 17: three 7s for luck. i feel strong with the spring wind whipping around me and my 7s crowning my head in a ring of fire.
