It was my graduation but I didn’t feel like seeing anyone after it ended. I walked away from the celebrations early, passing by the people waving flags. At some point I had lost a friend in the crowd but I didn’t want to wait for them to catch up.

I walked through the back door of boba shop and changed into a new pair of shoes at the other end of the store. I checked into a new apartment and the front desk gave me a whole stack of papers to read through and sign.
