First night alone

Slept in my new apartment last night.

It's small and empty and exactly what I need right now.

I stood at the window looking out at the city and thought about Rome. About Mario. About the person I've pretended to be for so long that I'm not sure who I actually am underneath.

Maybe that's the work of the next few months. Finding out.

Or maybe I'll just build a new lie.

Either way, at least I'm here.
