Hey Buddy,

I had that dream again. It's been the fourth night in a row, and I can't get it out of my head. So in response, I packed up and dropped out of college. Yep, I didn't even tell Mom. Oh boy, what would she say if she heard about this. After all, I was doing so well in college, academically. I just... I don't know. You are all I can think about, and I don't know what to do without you. We've been through thick and thin, and I can't accept that you're gone. So, with my reoccurring dreams, I decided to head out in search for you. Yep, that's right, I'm coming to find you, after so long. If no one else will, I guess I'll have to be the one. Besides, why do I need college when I can't even vent to you how terrible my professors are, or ask you how your classes are going. It's not the same when I come home, and there's an empty void in my heart even thinking about it. When I look at all the pictures, all the memories we had together, I can't hold back my tears. It's been a year since you've been gone, but it feels like it's been an eternity. Life isn't the same without you in it.

Gosh, it's happening. I loaded up my car and just drove. I don't know where to yet, but I'll figure that on the way, I guess. For now, I stopped to go to the bathroom, haha. You know me, the bladder of a squirrel. Anyways, I've been thinking on the drive, how have you been? What's going on? I pray that you're okay. I really feel like a mom, worrying over you like this. I've also been listening to your music to feel a little closer to you. It's kind of soothing, but it's still not the same. Besides, how can you fill a void that's been empty for a year? I think it's nearly impossible to do that.

So, this is the end of the first day of my journey. I'm sleeping in my car tonight, but that's okay. We're used to it, right? Haha, oh well. I hope you're sleeping in a comfortable bed and that you're okay. Maybe I'll know where I'm going tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have another dream that helps me find you. Goodnight, I love you. Sleep well and sweet dreams.
