Today I made an effort to put away the camera and just live. As a result I saved a dog, had a guy named Dominic buy me a crazy expensive lunch, went to a movie with said guy, obtained two bottles of wine from him, and met my friends for Indian food. Now we're in the anteroom of an Irish pub, drinking Guiness and listening to a boy play a guitar. Another man just told us he hopes we have a good night. He was leaving.

I'm wearing a sundress. Two of my best friends are with me. We're in New York. We sucked at pool. Another guy just told me if I play darts he'll be in the other room. I love being here. I love feeling this free. I love how my hair is loose, framing my face and my lips are tart with beer. I love my life. I love my friends. I'm too too scared of everything but in this moment I am strong and happy and free.
