everything I didn't say

prologue ♡

"I'm Leah Thomas.
I'm nineteen years old.
I'm originally from Arizona.
I have dreamt of going to school at UCLA my entire life. And now here I am, sitting in a writing class trying to pursue my dream of being an author.

Since I'm far away from home, seven hours to be exact, I hope to escape from my past. Here, I hope I find new beginnings, new chances, and new adventures. I hope I meet amazing people and experience amazing things with them.

I hope I don't say no to opportunities. I hope I do something life changing. I want to look back at this year and feel proud of myself.

I feel like in college you're supposed to meet someone that you fall in love with. I have little faith in myself actually going out and finding someone, but I have high hope of someone finding me. Probably accidentally, but this is a big city. I think it's bound to happen.

I'm Leah Thomas, and my story starts here."
