like a whale

Let's all sit under this beautifully drawn language tree and read the Diary of Samantha Pepys. BRB, getting my B.A. in Internetology. Chicago and the criminalization of homelessness. I was an intent, anxious, too-serious boy bent over a heavy novel in the slop-strewn eating hall of a traveler's block in Shanxi province. At night, anxiety made camp in my body, keeping me awake as I fretted over what I could do to make money and where I would live. The self-imposed challenges of owning it. Chris Rock, Duke of Doubt. A breathless, exquisitely written and rather long birth story.
