The future is coming.
It’s scary
and exciting
and exhilarating
and exhausting
and terrifying
and strange.
The future is a stranger.
College will be full of strangers
who will soon become friends
and maybe even family.
Law school will be full of strangers
who will be both competition
and shoulders to cry on.
Adulthood will be full of strangers
who will be terrifying
and intoxicating all at once.
Where are all the strangers?
Where are we?
Where am I?
Where are my friends?
Where are all the strangers,
you ask?
Don’t look now,
but there’s one over there,
waiting for you
in the mirror.
