There's a rule you never agreed to but follow anyway.
That enjoying where you are counts as agreeing to stay.
So you hold the good parts at arm's length.
You keep your enthusiasm quiet in case someone reads it as proof you've stopped wanting more.
Nobody is watching that closely.
Nobody is reading your good mood as a signature.
You can want out of a place and still like the light in it.
Both can be true at once.
You added the rule that says otherwise.
You can enjoy it here and still go.
Liking where you are is just refusing to throw the time away.
