I am from…..

Barely walking up my big steps after long tiring school days.

Hangrily waiting for food to come on late Saturday nights.

My brother playing D&D really loudly on weekends.  

Long lazy weekends. 

Tiredly waking up half asleep to go to school.

Super strange, random people in my house everyday.

Barely getting through the long school day.

Waking up in the middle of the night because of a burning house. 

I am from…..

Strumming out the chords to Nirvana’s “About a Girl” in my beanbag chair

Practicing bass as soon as I get home every day

Learning how to play piano every Thursday

To the “boom!” and “crash!” on drums whenever I can get my hands on them

I am from…..

Fasting every year on Yom Kippur, but feeling surprisingly normal

Lighting the menorah every night on Hannukah

Singing songs with my family on holidays, but not enjoying one bit of it

I am from…..

Begging for takeout every day

Dreaming of cheese pizza, hot from the oven

Nachos covered in cheese and beans 

And black bean-filled burritos 

This is where I’m from
