Corona Keeps Me Young: An Upside

I’m wearing glasses every day. I rarely wear a bra.

I look in the mirror every 20 minutes and wonder if my body has changed.

I lay awake at night thinking about boys and what it would be like to kiss one.

I wonder what sex will be like.

Meal times mean nothing.

I have a lot of books but only ones written by Roald Dahl are open.

I fantasize about sitting in the sun with a group of friends drinking alcohol. I imagine it will look like an Applebee’s commercial.

I wish I could hangout with my friends without permission.

The freedom of an afternoon bike ride.

My radio is constantly on. My door is always closed.

I fling myself on my bed while on the phone. I lay on my stomach, I twirl my hair.

Oreos and Wild Berry Skittles.

I think I can write poetry. Moreover, I think it is good. I am sure I will be a poet when I'm older.

I am surprised by body hair.

Occasionally, I have to wait for the Internet.

New York City seems sad, wild and scary.

My parents are checking in on me in a way that is caring but I feel is unnecessary.

My friends are chronically available.

I dance in my room. Alone. A lot.

I want to go outside, but I’m afraid I’ll get in trouble.

My period is kind of an exciting event.

I paint and repaint my toenails.

I am 30 13.
