It was like nothing I had ever seen or experienced before, an out of body experience, an “out of the world” kind of sight. The day I had anxiously and impatiently been waiting for. The day I finally get out of the miserable, dull and lifeless town I had spent 18 years of my pathetic life growing up in. Some called it home, however to me, it was just plain old Ravenswood.
Todays the day I finally begin living. Living a life I am proud of, a life I can live filled with no regrets and one lived honestly. Everything about Ravenswood was a mysterious mess and somewhat felt uncomfortably empty yet was filled with the most snobbish, upper class, pretentious population.

So I decided that this year would be my year, no matter what the public, or the people of Ravenswood’s said.
A freshly printed aeroplane ticket has never ever looked or felt like a piece of literal heaven before, but to me, that would be an accurate description. In bold and capital letters, it had the words “One way ticket to Chicago” printed on it. A million emotions rushed through my mind but I knew that if I had waited any longer, Ravenswood would have ended me.
Boarding the aeroplane, I knew that my mom would make me take my brightly coloured yellow and blue blanket with me, the one I had “loved since before I could even walk”. All I remember about the flight was the further we got from Ravenswood, the happier I got. I woke up just as we were about to land. The landing was always my favourite. Holding on for dear life as the aircraft swings from one end to the other, almost feeling like a ride at the theme park.
My bazaar butterflies were now kicking in. What should I expect? Should I perhaps save myself from devastating disappointment about the world outside of Ravenswood? No, this was my turn now, absolutely no
