When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities

by Chen Chen

On Earth lately, I’ve been looking at everyone like I love them, & maybe I do. Or maybe I only love one person, & I’m beaming from it. Or actually I just love myself, & I want people to know.

But isn’t it true, you are not always why I am happy. & I promise it is true, you are almost never why, why I am sad.

I’m envious of the clouds who can from time to time fall completely apart & everyone just says, It’s raining, & someone might even bring cats & dogs into it, no one says, Stop being so dramatic or You should see a professional

I tried to ask my parents to leave the room, but not my life.

TFW someone sums up your teenage years in one sentence.
