never never land

i am making a zine about the cats in my apartment building and the kids at my school. i am walking home with wind-whipped hair and discussing with gardeners the best ways to orient skittish cats to new neighborhoods. i am entering my apartment and deciding to give myself a "facial" by using every mask, peel and soap in my drawer.

i am sitting purple face-masked cross-legged on the floor reading on the internet how kirsten got dumped. i am listening to "dress you up in my love" on my blue spray painted stereo, compliments of dj heather lynn, who is making herself a new jogging tape.

i am contemplating tiny vaccums, expensive tricked-out gyms and thyroid medications.

i am completely aware that when i was sixteen and daydreaming i never thought this would be what it is like to be twenty-three.

(truthfully, though, i was one of those dispairing kids who never thought they'd live very long.)
