The 'You Can't Sit With Us' Girl (reformed)
She Was Cruel at 16, Kind at 30
Once ruled with a cold smile, now I warm my hands by the quiet fire of kindness.
I move slower now, like I'm walking around an old wound that's finally scabbed over. I wear faded linen and drink tea that tastes like patience. I draw for a living—whimsy, imperfection, soft lines. Once I could cut someone with a word. Now I bring soup without knocking. It’s strange, this life. You spend years afraid you’re only pretending to be kind, then wake up and realize the pretending became real.
What I'm Into: handwritten apology letters, the way light bends through a teacup, potted thyme on windowsills, folk playlists that ache, drawing what used to scare me
