monologue

I’ve always thought of forgetting about New York for a while and just leaving for a vacation with just my friends. No adults, no supervision. It’s just us versus the outside world. We would have to cook, clean and basically just survive together. Last spring, I finally had a chance to do it. It was exciting to get on a bus and just leave New York behind for a while. It was scary at first because we got lost in new jersey. We ended up at a house that looked nothing like the house we rented for the week. Eventually we found our way around. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of entering a house that was yours, oh wait not “yours” I meant ours, even if it was just for the week. Managing it wasn’t easy though. Twelve people in one house means A LOT of cleaning. A LOT of responsibility. It was also probably the best time I’ve ever had in my life. Watching basketball games and late night movies, playing poker, playing video games, cooking, going to the beach, playing sports, and watching the sunsets together made all the chores worth it. What about the money? It was never about that. Friends never need to worry about money. Friends always enjoy what they have together now. Friends with no worries about what’s going to happen. Friends that always have each other’s backs. Maybe that’s why we had such a great time.
