Wanderers

I wanted to make this a short story but whatever.

We are wanderers. We’re just a dirty bunch of runaway foster kids, teenage mothers, drug addicts, alcoholics, and chain smokers. There is no place for us; we have nowhere to call home. We never stay in one place for too long. There’s no reason to. We’re the outcasts of this world and all that we have is each other. Sometimes we pick up more people as we go. Everybody needs a place to belong… Even the people who don’t belong anywhere. We don’t have a “leader.” We don’t believe that any one of us is better than the other. We live each day in the present, not wondering about tomorrow, and not regretting yesterday.

Reminds me of how an outcast like me still manages to find people i vibe with and fit in with. The picture at the end is an awesome finishing touch, My mind registers a lot of metaphors that i relate to and stuff I see amongst youth in society. If there was a like button on this site I'd abuse it.

While the rest of us get caught up in so much of the ephemeral, others live for now.
I like the "Everybody needs a place to belong… Even the people who don’t belong anywhere"...Makes you think of all those faces you pass every day without registering. I like this, for such a short piece it says a lot about us all.

Thank you! I wasn't too confident about this one, so that is very reassuring :)
