Uncertainty

Solitude

Responsibility

Failure

The feeling of wanting to hide under your covers from the world

Everything changes after 18

You leave your house

And you go somewhere where you don’t know anyone else

Of course there’s fear

But there are also other feelings

Ones that make you ready to take the jump

The freedom of no expectations

People respecting your intelligence

Others listening to your input

And making your own decisions

These are the feelings that make me ready to take the jump
