Things:

1. I upgraded my shampoo. It is no longer $2. My hair got a lot prettier after just one wash, as if to thank me for finally paying it some attention. I will even pay for a haircut in a few weeks. Until then I'm pinning my bangs back, mimicking the healthiest portion of a 12 yr old anime girl aesthetic.

2. The last English paper I ever write will be about The God of Small Things, which seems fitting. I first read it during my freshman year of high school at the bookstore in the Loop.

3. I well up every time I watch the music video for Movie Script Ending. Then again, I have only watched it twice. Once 4 years ago, once today.

4. Being alive is alone and frustrating and I paw clumsily and briefly at the people around me. They move around like moths before I can open my mouth. You know, to let them in. Or something.

5. Salvation in the tight-lipped things I hope to achieve:

Step one is to finish my English paper.

Step two is to graduate.

Step three is to graduate again.
