Today's writing

Who am I kidding? I do want those boundaries. I don’t just want to be a woman – I want to be a girl. I want to be the person who would’ve enjoyed the Barbie townhouse and childhood canopy bed, who read Sweet Valley High books and actually liked them. I want to hide behind the skirts of my sisters, revel in that safety, roll in that feminine carpet of sweet-scented rose petals.

There is wanting and there is wanting to want. Six degrees of longing.
