I went to a college meeting today with the school guidance counselors

every single other person came back all freaked out, saying FUCK COLLEGE and wanting to cry.

but it just made me so so excited. I’m not even all that bothered by all of the applications and supplemental work, it just reminds me that this is really happening. all worth it

everything is illuminated

I want to know your story, especially. I want to see your eyelids flit open and shut, touch them as delicately as I do the pages of my favorite book, which on second thought isn’t all that delicately due to my tendency to regard everything in a sort of tumultuous manner, because it is only worth loving if it can handle me. I want to open your mouth and climb into it, navigate across your teeth like they are mountains in that place I have always wanted to go backpacking through and slide down into you and get lost in your story.

I'm Alicia. This is my story.
