I am ready and waiting for something, someone, anything really.
actually no that last part was a lie, the 'anything' because i am fickle fickle.
Maybe it's the weather or the way the air smells when i wake up (it makes me feel like i'm rapunzel and i want to roll around in my masses of herbal scented hair and bury my face in my oh-so-clean sheets). it's nice to wake up at 9, that's when the weather's really sorted itself out and decided what kind of day it's going to be. today was lovely, there was sunshine and a mother waiting in the kitchen ready to make me rice porridge.
but back to my original topic. being a teenager really isn't so bad. please don't be cynical and bitter, there are so many beautiful things waiting for you in the world. i promise you, there will be amazing conversations over lattes, strange spicy little crinkles of things to taste, looking out of windows on foggy mornings, soil to press in your hand, laughter, and so much more. be excited, be happy, anticipate, watch, open your eyes wide and take it all in.
in the future when we're 60, if you haven't experienced these things look me up and we will run around and have adventures together with our canes and suspenders flying in the wind.
