How to live

First:
Put your whole life in order
Pay your bills and organize your closet
Wash your sheets and clean your room
Make your bed and pack up your old books
Spend time with every member of your family
Remind them how much you love them

Second:
Get rid of your cell phone
Flush it down a toilet or throw it off a cliff
Deactivate your Facebook and delete your Twitter
Buy a dog, with kind eyes and soft fur
Update your blog and allude to a dream

Third:
Quit your job, tell them you found something better
Break up with your boyfriend
Meet up with all of your best friends
Only one will realize something is up, play it cool
Buy something really expensive, that you don't need

Fourth:
Find all your Exes and tell them how you really feel about them
Go to the house you grew up in and sit on the front porch
Write a letter full of secrets and burn it
Buy a cheap pair of blue Nike sneakers, cheap
Buy a cheap but reliable car

Fifth:
Leave
Pack your car in the middle of the night
Grab your dog and your running sneakers
Kiss your bedroom door and dust off your feet
Jump in the car
And leave.
