Leah McLean·FollowJust now--Grizzly, gnarly. Missed the train, split second. Not another one for an hour. Itchy teeth. I’ve eaten a whole packet of cotton wool balls. I chewed them. Totally yummy cotton wool balls. Only joking, not a psycho. Just a standard GIRL. Standard: hair, teeth, eyes. To summarise: one, two, three. Nothing else. The search continues. This is absurd.

It’s tricky, life. Especially when you fall in love. First it’s just bliss, all turquoise and dazzling. You are sane and not sane all at once but it does make sense, in some strange way. I love being in love, always have done. I find life is a desolate place when I am solitary, confined. I don’t care what people make of that, or how unhealthy it might seem to some. I’m not other people, nor do I believe I must think and feel the things that they do.
