Madeleine and I are leaving tomorrow. She has made all the arrangements, and decided not to tell me in order to save me from worrying. All that is required of me is to be awake early in the morning.
I am buzzing with nervousness. I have faith that it will all work out, but I am still worried for the future. Of course, I am excited too. My mind will not quiet down, and it is impossible to sleep.
It is already reaching midnight, and I have to be awake at 3 in order to bypass my family and Madeleine's parents. I wrote a note explaining everything to my family, excluding the romantic nature of my relationship. All of my belongings are ready to go.
Tomorrow, I will have a new life. I will go to sleep in a bed that I will share with my dear Madeleine. I will begin a lifetime of happiness with the woman who I love.
