The Moment You Realized Your Hometown Was Small

She Saw Her Whole World Shrink in the Rearview

I drove until the sky got bigger.

I packed up my life in a sedan that hums on long stretches of highway. I love my hometown like a first kiss—sweet, brief, and never meant to last. I speak in memories of porch swings and thunderstorms rolling in late summer, and yes, I still count every mile marker like a heartbeat pulling me further out.

What I'm Into: peeling bumper stickers, last light over the water tower, the smell of cut grass, slow deep breaths, roads that lead back in dreams
