This picture sums up my current state of mind perfectly. I am following a road of uncertainty into a future that will surely gleam. Still I have a great deal to get through before I reach my destination, wherever the hell that is. I can see it far off in the distance; vague, yet promising. If I just take one step at a time, I will find myself surrounded by more beauty than I could ever ask for. Along the way, I hope to come across the most brilliant people in the world. I will chase these cars until they lead me to adventures that I have been waiting for. Emerald cities wait for me beyond the poppy fields, and I have surely paid my dues amongst those poison petals. I will find myself a girl with ruby slippers or a tin man with a ticking heart. The road to all these things is the color of fear; yellow as a lion’s mane. I know that once the first step has been taken, everything else will fall into place.

Still, sometimes I wish that a twister would just drop me on someone’s doorstep; far away, where no one knows me.
