A girl who feels lost finds herself after traveling to another world

"Goodbye" I say to Jersey. Taking my first flight to Cali. Packing up, getting ready to go, leaving the only place i've ever known. Diving into the unknown. Opening my mind, allowing me to release this emotional flow. Taking a taxi cab, leaving this NJ life. Driving down the NJ turnpike, leaving the toxic town, called Bayonne. Arriving at the Terminal. Seeing the big screen in front of me. Showing me destinations, beyond my wildest dreams. In that moment, i could've chose anywhere to go. My soul saying to me. "Stay on the path of Luxury." I continue onward toward my destination, arriving at gate 23. I see the young women, coming out of the tunnel. Standing at her station, bringing her lips to the microphone, speaking. Her words burst out of the intercom screaming. "Now arriving at Gate 23, Southwest to LA." My mind filled with joy, hearing the aircraft has arrived, to take me to my dreams.

It was a taxi. It looked very unusual for New York, because it was a black car without any numbers. However even though this taxi looked weird, it always had clients. They always tried to confess, somebody tried to apologize, somebody tried to blame someone, but the driver was silent. At the moment when they finished their story the taxi would start to move faster.

Everything I wanted to say, everything that I couldn't. Just honest feelings from a dishonest person. Oblivion: the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening around one. . Excerpt from book: She was the one who brought white flowers, who cried and cried at his grave. The flowers knew nothing of what had trespassed, but yet they embraced his grave as their own and lay there till they withered and passed away. No flower met another anymore. Each one was buried in their own graveyard. Their own destiny, their own world. But all met the same end. Each and every flower withered and withered till it could not be found anymore. ''We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.'' -Dead Poets Society
