Tuesday.
I guess I mostly sat there wondering when it was going to end - when it’s going to end; if it starts, how much it will hurt to quit; if it works, how will I get myself out of it? I had to skip my tea this morning and my brain was scrambling around for answers it doesn’t yet have.

Ashlee and I eat pizza that’s fallen on the sidewalk. Nicole lets me verbally abuse a bunch of freshman boys on the bus.

I have to sit on my suitcase three times before it will zip shut. But there’s always more to add. It’s hard to leave New York in January.

"The poverty gauntlet." →
