What are all the reasons to kidnap a person.

“That’s why I love hanging out with you, anything could happen”
“I live my life like a rom-com. Except without the falling in love stuff”

Buying long skirts and $1 shirts. Romantic heels. ‘Skinny Dipping’. (I was embarrassed to buy it, because the cover was stupid)

It’s too bad, all the things I never got to show you.

Red wine is better than white wine.

I love the rain, more than you could ever understand. I was born to walk in the rain.

“Don’t touch me”

I want to learn, and spend my time repairing shoes. A clean, neat shop, where suspenders fit.

“You’re the third Anastasia in this week. People come in waves”

I wonder what that means.

I wonder if I will ever understand anything.

(Long skirts with flowers on them, and leather jackets)

The boots make everything perfect.

The bizarre small fact that it’s itchy. (now I’ve got to be extra careful).

(science experiment)

Oh dear fuck, not reality. 

The mysterious girl, at the back of the coffee shop reading classic russian literature. Wearing heels and red lipstick, jeans and and a sweatshirt (she saves her smiles and uses them sparingly). She’s not mysterious, she’s just clinically depressed.

(justification)

The little boy with the pigeon on his shoulder. He talks softly to it, in coos. He doesn’t like swear words. His dad was kidnapped, but no one took notice.

Absurdity. Absurdity makes things real.

“I got this dress at a thrift store for one dollar. It’s a bridesmaid dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, and then tossed it.”
