Starting Over

Vanessa sits in her room angry and bored. She thinks about her life. And how she wishes she could just start over. Simply get in her car, and drive away. She feels like sometimes she can’t take it anymore. That life just becomes too much. She was sick of the same routines and the same mundane patterns that her life holds.

She looks out the window and thinks about a different life she would lead. If only she left this one behind. Her friends wouldn’t notice, she thought. They always had a way of keeping her on the back burner. She wonders if they would even notice Or if so, how long?.

She decides to pack up her clothes and begin her journey. She thought of a destination that would be far enough away. Where she could start a new life. A location where nobody knows her, and she can start fresh.

Vanessa pulls out her atlas and studies it. She thinks about going west. She decides to go far enough away, that the time zone changes. She wonders if it will be far enough. She hopes her problems wont follow her.
