Wait what? One sunny day Hannah woke up in DisneyLand...

"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.

A short story about a guy who has a friendly driver that takes him to his hotel.

-----For privacy purposes my and my family names have been changed but this is a true story----- I met the love of my life when I was only 14 years old. We lived in one of those hopeless small towns. The kind where you either end up a teacher or sales associate at Walmart. I'm not saying either of these are bad but its not what I wanted. I wanted to be a performer, live my life on Broadway. Of course this was an unachievable dream not because I'm not talented but because when I turned 18 I found myself working as a CNA in a nursing home. The pull to care for others pushed down and drowned the side of me that wanted to be a star. My drive for the spotlight became a hunger to live for those I cared for. My high school sweetheart turned fiancée also had a drive to serve others. He spent 6 years as a vet tech and on October 9th, 2019 he shipped off to bootcamp. I found myself in new roles. In a matter of months I had become a wife, I had a new job, and both my brothers (whom recently shipped to bootcamp) had graduations coming up. Just when the dust was settling my new husband called me. He had gotten orders. My whole life crumbled around me and I couldn't get enough air into my lungs. ---------KEEP READING TO FIND OUT WHERE WE MOVED---------
