Your Startup Disk is Almost Full (Notes to Self about a Deep-seated Fear of Failure)

They're off doing drugs

I've never heard of before

okay but zoomed out

she found death to be

tremendously

boring

sometimes people

just don't feel

the same way

more like this

people talking

side-eyeing each other

outsides and insides

why do I suck at drawing hands?

Shift there

closer together

and to the left

"I had a dream last night that I was a spy/hitman in dark sunglasses

running around D.C. stealing cars."

How do you even draw an elbow?

I need a new pen.

Time is passing,

refill your glass and your conversation

Why do we need a new year to make a resolution?

Dr. Awkward has entered the building.

Leave me Alone.

There are

moments of tension

b/w what is said and what is seen.

understated.

mirrors and blank faces.

I envy statues.

Champagne Travesty.

Cupcake Wine.

I have nothing here.

Has it become so hard

so wrong

for me to keep my nothing?

Do you love easily?

yes and no.

Who the fuck are you?

This might sound a little strange...

you were in my dream

and then I took you out of it with me.

the only way to get better at drawing faces is to draw more of them.

Get me out of here

I have cabin fever

We're sick of casting shadows,

of blocking out the light

Your startup disk is almost full.

I would like to be left alone, from now until forever thank you very much.

blue car death

she tried to take a deep breath

even cacti need a little water sometimes
