[Text : Gen] Yes. [Text : Gen] (Delayed) I don't know. It's just that's what I've always imagined. House, job, kids. [Text : Gen] If you say so. [Text : Gen] You really want to share it with me? [Text : Gen] (Delayed) Okay. Let's do it.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : If you want that then I can’t say I understand, you know that’s never been my idea of a happy life.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Of course I do, you total idiot. You’re my best friend.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Don’t do this for me though, you can stay here and grow up if you want. I’m not saying choose me, I’m saying I’d have much more fun if you were there.

[Text : Gen] A fortnight does not count as the future Gen. What about a deposit on a flat or a house? Important things. [Text : Gen] That's not how the world work. [Text : Gen] We could get stuck there with no money or anyway of getting home. Or even feeding ourselves. [Text : Gen] (Unsent) We need to grow up. Life isn't actually an adventure.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Do you really want that? A little house and a mortgage and a 9-5 with a boss you hate?

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : It’s exactly how it works.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : We’d have each other, we’d be happy. We will find the rest. It’s all out there, a great big world waiting to be explored. I found the person I want to share it with, but I can’t stay here anymore.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : I don’t want London, I don’t want San Francisco. I want you -- only I want to make the most of life more.

[Text : Gen] No. Gen you can't do that. Anything you have put away should be for your future. [Text : Gen] Karma?! Gen you can't be serious.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : This is the future. We wouldn’t set of for like a fortnight, I need to let the company find a new intern.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Dead serious

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Be good to the world and goo things always follow Marcy, we should be somewhere beautiful

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : What’s the worst that can happen?

[gunmetalgreyiisms-blog]

[Text : Gen] Steam. Yes. She really wasn't happy. [Text : Gen] Sounds lovely. [Text : Gen] That is beautiful. [Text : Gen] I do have one question though. [Text : Gen] How are we suppose to afford it?

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : I have some stuff put away for a rainy day

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Or a sunny get away really

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Sort of an emergency fund, it’ll get us one way tickets

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : From there Karma will work it all out

[Text : Gen] Because, believe it or not, I value my life. [Text : Gen] I apologise. [Text : Gen] Though you'll get the same look and lecture the next time you visit so... [Text : Gen] You're joking right? I'm not mentioning engines and speed.

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : you better be sorry

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : oh dear, when am I not in trouble? It can’t be as bad as the time I broke those candles that were wedding presents, can it?

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : maybe we should run away somewhere

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : Serbia far enough?

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : I bet you grandmama on her mobility scooter goes faster

[Text : Gen] I told Mum about me getting motorcycle lessons. [Text : Gen] Before you ask, it went about as well as I told you it would. [Text : Gen] I can still see the look she gave me whenever I close my eyes. I think it's burned onto my retinas...

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : why didn’t you take a picture 

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : i think this was something i should have seen

SMS [ where’s the funky bunch ] : did you tell her it goes about as fast as a pedalo at this point like we haven’t put a proper engine in it yet
