I wanted so much to do life alone

Away from the commotion, the opinions, the expecting faces, the unspoken pressures, and you.

But I realized I can’t do this alone.

I am a woman torn between what sets her free and what makes her herself, what makes her grow and what keeps her sane.

When you gotta pay $100+ for Uber cuz no one in your extensive network of friends will pick you up 40 mins away #imokthough — #itsalonelyroad — #igotme • UPDATED : Well guys, thanks for lettin me get that rant out and to have this experience. Here's what happened : I wound up paying $100 for an Uber bc it was peak hours. A young African cat named Emmanuel picked me up in his black jeep cherokee. He was from Liberia. So instead of finishing Scarface on my iPad on the car ride, me and this dude connected as human beings and #brownboys and #CharlesBronzeSons -See, this dude had come from Liberia on an immigration lottery. I said, "you really did win the fkn lottery, bro!" We laughed, bc Liberia - though quite beautiful, is a quite gnarly place. I know a bit about it, so i asked dude if he was there during the latest civil war ( he was) I asked - what is that like (cuz this is a very regular kinda guy, right? just like anyone would meet anywhere) - He said everyday some shit popped off right outside the windows. He said "We just stayed inside and hid everyday. Sometimes you could go to work." He applied to University but didn't get in (he explained a system of acceptance heavily influenced by the Euro soundingness of your last name - Johnston was an example he used as acceptable sounding -- you can google that I did not look up anything about this particular discrimination but it don't sound too far fetched to me. He was a smart guy.) Anywho, he wins this lottery, comes over here 12 years ago and now works as an Uber driver who just took a 2 hour fare waaay far away from his area (Trenton) to support his family including "two awesome boys" - I tipped an extra $10. Emmanuel, you da guy. (at Trenton–Mercer Airport)
