~Understanding begins, but does not end, with the act of perception~

"Welcome to your life.."

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was ALWAYS some OBSTACLE in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

Green-Eyed Monster Girl Tabloid Blues

Oh yeah?!
You... with your photos..
You make me want to beat you senseless
because you were born pretty and tall and 
genetically predisposed to max out at 20 lbs soaking wet.

Fuck you and your countable ribs and
your big wide eyes and
the fact that people 
PAY YOU 
to dress up and make faces. 

Today, I hate
Pretty People
and
Rich People
and I super-hate
Pretty Rich People and Rich Pretty People.

My Daddy doesn't sell retail space on Mars 
so I actually need a desk job.
And my Mommy's not an heiress
so I only get to window shop for designer threads,
and they don't let me get too close to the windows.

They say my fingerprints are greasy
and I scare away The Benjamins when I press my face against the glass like that...
Nobody pays my rent. 

Today, I hate
hating people
and 
Facebook stalking
and
my hair, which hasn't cooperated all day...
