Truth waiting at the edge of goodbye
The dorm room feels smaller tonight. Finals are over, boxes half-packed, and the weight of fifteen years presses against your ribs. You've rehearsed this a thousand times - telling your boyfriend that you're leaving for China after graduation, telling him the truth you've carried since you were kids.

One truth will lead to another, and there's no predicting which one will hurt more - that you're leaving, or who you really are.
