"People are so afraid of death because they haven't lived fully. They haven't known what life is. Those who learn to know themselves, master themselves, and live their lives deeply and fully in each moment won't be afraid." Miyoko mumbled while writing in her notebook as she bit down on her bottom lip

"That's very good." I looked over at her with amazement . everything about her was amazing and beautiful. They way she sung , her mindset , the way she carried herself. I'm just thankful the universe brought us together "thank you most high." I mumbled

"Huh?." Miyoko said while looking up with a confused look.

I chuckled "nothing but you know how In our dream we just left the city and explored around the world righ?." I asked while leaning back in my seat and playing with my chin hair.

She slowly nodded her head while side eyeing me "mhm continue."

"I think we should do that.. i gotta question though." I said lowly.

"And that question is?." She rose a eye brow.

"Are you over your grandmothers death? ya kno' in the dream you wasn't over her and you basically used me."

She shifted in her seat and a smiled formed across her face "my grandmother will forever be in my heart but it's time that i let her go and start fresh and new with you." She chuckled while looking out the window "are you okay?."

"Same with my pops and ma' they'll forever be in my heart but i gotta let em' go." I said in all seriousness.

she giggled while running her hands through her hair "great so we can start fresh and clear." She twisted her lips to the side " i wanna tell my mom I'm leaving for a few weeks and that'll I'll be alright so it's no need to come looking for me."

"That's fine but i don't wanna just leave penny by herself ya' know?." I twisted my dreads

"So bring her with us." She mumbled

"so you telling me we going on a trip?." penny jumped on the couch as she clapped her hands together while trying to belly dance

I smacked my teeth and rolled my eyes as i leaned against the counter "yes we are going on a trip for a few weeks and our only job is to have fun." She nodded her head "don't worry about the bills , i got everything unda' control." I stated knowing she was going to ask that

"you read my mind eh." She chuckled "alright so i alright got tons of weed and shrooms." She intertwined her fingers together "so i shall be happy on this trip."

"You're such a weed head." I shook my head

"aye man listen at least ian doing no other stuff plus god put this thang hea' on earth cause he knew we was gone need it." She pulled out a bag of weed and smelled it while slowly closing her eyes

"everything packed?." I mumbled while opening up the fridge and looking through to see what snacks i could bring along

"yeah well everything is in the car."

"are y'all at least happy I'm getting away?." I zipped up my suitcase while looking up at my mother and sister.

"Alright let me get this straight." Jamila cleared her throat while running her hands through her hair "you're about to leave off with some dude you met in your dreams." She cleared her throat "and you think it's the universe."

I rolled my eyes and slowly got up from my spot "yes jamila , the dream was crazy and i even seen grandma' and she told me to let go." I mumbled while shifting my weight to my left foot "i would think you all will be able that I'm getting out of the house and exploring the world instead of being stuck in here and being depressed."

my mother threw up her hands and shook her head " promise me you'll call me every day to let me know you're okay." I nodded my head "you think you have enough pills for the trip."

I chuckled " i don't need any pills , they make me even more depressed and sad." I shrugged my shoulders "I'll be fine and i promise to call you every single day. don't come lookin' for me." I yelled out while grabbing my suitcase and leaving out the house

I walked outside and seen penny hanging out the car while holding two bags of weeds and Adonis shaking his head "pop the trunk." I shouted while going to the back of the car

I placed all of items in the trunk and made my way to the front . I got in the front seat and opened up my notebook.

"so where's our first pit stop?." I questioned while looking back at penny

She had a huge grin on her face "sea of trees." She mumbled.

"Miyoko has a lot of stuff about sea of trees in her notebook." Adonis said while starting up the car . I looked over at him and smiled

"Surely do." I leaned back in my seat and searched through my notes about sea of trees. "We might actually save somebody." I chuckled
