Twelve Years Ago

What is it I want most in my life, she asks herself.

2001
The real new millennium
27 years and alone
Blunt cut growing out
Nails bit down to blood

Resolutions:

Drink more water.
Exercise.
Stop dating.
Stop fucking.
Make peace with silence.

Make peace with myself.

Where does she see herself in a year, 5 years, 10?

An airy condo, a spiral staircase
White window seats
Splashed with colorful pillows

Windows
Big, clean, clear

A breathtaking study
Wall-to-wall books

An uncluttered mind complemented by
A spare, efficient body with 
Elegant, logical lines

Lines that don't break.

Drink more water.
Exercise.
Make peace with silence.
Make peace with myself.

Make peace.
