a day to myself

[honeyskies]

today i had on a shirt i very rarely wear. my face was completely bare, not a lash darkened. i had my first big paycheck deposited in my account. i didn't plan on it, but i hopped on the metro alone with every intention to treat myself. i wonder if i looked lonely. i bought bras. i bought a bananaberry smoothie and a slice of pizza. i bought music. i bought turquoise boots.

today i felt absolutely beautiful, and i didn't mind not having a single witness, except strangers.
