IT'S LIKE THIS

you have to have the nicest jeans, or the cutest purse, or say the newest thing
so that it catches on. you have to be skinny, you have to buy this, wear this,
say that, be on his side, her side, be neutral, have white teeth, have straight
teeth, your hair can't be frizzy, and you can't wear that because it just doesn't
'work' anymore. you have to got to parties, be friends with everyone, trust no
one, pose like this, smile like that, tilt your head this way, and put your hand
on your hip, because that's how it is. and let me just say, fuck all of that/.
