Acts as if she’s the baddest
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
“When we catch eyes at that stupid party
I know exactly what to do
I'll take your hand, and we will leave
French exits from me & you”

People often assume I'm a bore just because I'm quiet and take a while to open up. But they don't know that behind this dull exterior, I hide a colorful world. And if you knock on my door and be patient enough, I'd gladly welcome you to this rich inner world I hide within.
