About Me

I AM UPSTANDING AND ILLUSTRATE THIS BY LISTENING TO AND ENJOYING MARKETPLACE ON NPR.

(1)
[Sitting on the floor] is always a bad sign. It's a slippery slope, and it's best to just sit in chairs, to eat when hungry, to sleep and rise and work. But we have all been there. Chairs are for people, and you're not sure if you are one.
Miranda July. "Something That Needs Nothing."

Let's be honest: You want to tell the stories you want to tell without compromising the truth necessary to tell it all. You want to write a book of poetry and know it'll never sell (because it never will), but you want to do it anyway because it feels perfect and maybe sort of right in the sick way that biting a fever blister feels right, or fucking your ex-boyfriend feels right. YOU DO IT OUT OF HABIT.
Someone Else.
