flashback: june 24

so many years ago, i walked down avery fisher hall and graduated high school. i was 17 years old, heading to a university where none of my friends were going, trying to get away from the generic nyu experience.

that day was just a calm sunny day. the ceremony was in the morning. i don't remember what i did in the afternoon. i think we might have headed to m-guydrive's place afterwards, the details are fuzzy. that was before photography for me so i don't even have any pictures from that time -- not that i wanted any.

looking back, i had so much potential, i could have been anything i wanted and am i very lucky to be on the track i am still on.

this morning, i spent time outside a police line on eldridge. 17 year old killed by gunshot this morning at 2am.
