we were girls together

"we were girls together. we were young, heads full of air; floaty and fluttery, funny, frolicking. not yet weighted by heavy thoughts. societal insecurity pushing us beneath the surface, praying we don't deviate from the life pre-planned for us. let's stay girls together. we will lay in the sun; safe from choking on prerequisite perspective, our bodies will just be the vessle for our souls, not yet a fleshy currency for love. our thoughts stay pure without the black taint of self loathing" - 2024 original piece
