New Beginning

So I graduated college about a week and a day ago. The start is rough because I am in the midst of a search for jobs, for internships, for a reason to paint.
Here's where I am: I am currently working at HanesBrands, it's rough because I a major cut in hours. I have two interviews this week. The first interview is tomorrow working night shift for CVS.
I left Cedar Crest with two awards, honors, a resume, and a take on the world confidence... but, I am now leaving my support, and entering into a world where I have to find a new place. I feel so severed, but I am trying so hard to connect with the arts in Lancaster.

I was sitting on the bus two days ago and a woman sits beside me. She was older in her fifties but she dressed as though she was sixteen, and her long hair was bleached blonde. She told me that I drew well. I said, I practice a lot. She said this is not the town for you, it's the city you need. I told her I want to go to the city, she said be careful because you are small and the city preys on small people.


I am not that small.
