First off, a huge thank you to my lovely friend _lapisqueen_ for writing it!

Here it is:

I thanked the kindly old man for letting me pass him on escalator, then moved on with my journey. So many different emotions were passing through me; excitement, courage, fear. but I wouldn't let any of them stop me from making my way through life. I was an adult now. I could handle things myself. This was the first big step for me: moving to a different state. Going from California to New York was, of course, a big jump for me, but it was finally time to prove to my family I was an independent person. I took a deep breath as I navigated my way through the airport, feeling confident and happy. Of course, until, I saw him.
