Rachel Reischling for president!

Or better yet, let's abolish democracy and set up an absolute monarchy. I would rule fairly, unless someone made me mad, and then they'd pay.
Or better than better yet, I'll become an karaoke singer of Fiona Apple's cover of "Across the Universe." I'll appear in cities across the country and become famous for my sultry yet innocent voice. I'll never want for anything again.
I do want--I want for everything. And I don't want to have to work for it. I want to be handed things, sparkly things, and to be agreed with and smiled at, but by no means condescended to. And though it may not be pretty, it's perfectly acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition.
I don't think I want to be a writer anymore. I don't think I ever was a writer. I think it was all a silly affectation that was carried on for too long. When I type that out it sounds harsh and my feelings are hurt, which is crazy since I said it to myself.
I see the same face in the mirror that I always have. It hasn't changed a great deal yet. It makes me feel exempt from adult responsibility. And somebody in this room who isn't me has smelly shoes.
