A Place to land...
I found it. My place to land for the next bit… New Orleans. I’m looking for work, looking to buy a vehicle, looking to make the most of the new adventures I’m sure I’ll find here…
I miss home heaps, but look forward to feeling home here really soon. Will write more again soon - til then I miss you all like sleep…
Lots of love

Lelaina Pierce: I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.
Troy Dyer: Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23 is yourself.
Lelaina Pierce: I don't know who that is anymore.
Troy Dyer: I do. And we all love her. I love her. She breaks my heart again and again, but I love her.
