I’m leaving the country tomorrow. Not that I’ve committed a crime and am on the lam or anything. It’s just that I’m going to Australia to visit my godmother. I’ve told only a few people so far because the trip has been in the works off and on since November, and I’m the sort of person who won’t hope or look forward to anything because I’m so afraid of disappointment.
