i've recently realized that not being a teenager anymore means
i start to age.
and of course i've known that a long time, but only now am i starting to experience it.
for instance:
a wrinkle.
for instance:
gum recession
is apparently hereditary, in my family.
(knock on wood
this remains the worst of my inheritance)

dear winter,
I WANT TO WEAR MY SANDALS.
MAAAAAGGGGH.

all i want to do these days is listen to loreena mckennitt.
so that's what i'm doing.
loreena mckennitt, to a backdrop
of projects.

dear universe,
YOU ARE SO FUNNY.
i love it.
love you.

dear chelsea,
what do you think this is?
a hendricks project?
hi time?

dear lorna,
what would you think if my portfolio was written half upside down this year?
would you be okay with that?
i think it would really benefit the project.
hope you're enjoying your reading week.
best,
c.

yesterday i panicked a little about long-term finances.
yesterday my card was the ace of pentacles.
yesterday i wished for prosperity, and then
literally everything i needed in the world was marched into my house in boxes, for free.

DON'T WORRY, it says.
i've gotcha. for alwayz.
(ok.
i trust you.)

thanks, universe.
thanks, em vee.
love you.

i learned a lot of things today, one of which being that i am still capable of disappearing four hours of evening after yoga by doing art and making meals and, you know, living.
sorry, school. this is the truth of the situation. and i know. it's sad. for you.

hi chelsea.
just thot i'd remind you that the semester is two thirds over and it's winter now.
give me a call back when you get a chance; we have some things to discuss.
love,
the universe.
