Unsttopable


Riding the train by myself to me was the biggest sign that proved that I was finally moving up in the world. A sign that I was moving into adulthood.

 

Public Transportation

 

- It made me feel powerful

-It made me feel independent 

-It made me feel responsible 

 

Basically all the things that grown up people are supposed to feel or be.

 

I was responsible for a few things such as: reaching my destination with all my limbs still attached, calling my mom to tell her that I’m safe(the not so grown up part), responsible for being where i said i was gonna be.

 

Riding Trains

Catching buses

Walking across streets 

On her own 

Own time 

Own agenda
