Ten True Things

1. I spend far more time in front of the mirror than I should.
2. I miss the feeling of having a camera in my hands.
3. The Starbucks cup is always full. I only bought it for the smell.
4. After seventeen years of denial, I’m finally embracing the colour yellow.
5. On the same day, I sent out two stories: One to Writer’s Digest, one to the New Yorker. I’m starting to think I have an inflated ego, maybe?
6. I believe in the healing powers of pain.
7. Fact: I went on www.theclaremontreview.ca every day for two months to check whether the fall edition was up because I wanted to see my name in print.
8. I’m in love.
9. I think my fear of drowning stems from the fact that I imagine it constantly. Even when I’m walking to school on a beautiful crisp autumn day with the sun in my eyes and a breeze in my hair.
10. I need a job.
