With an anchored awareness of the world around me and a mature sense of priority, I hope to be able to enjoy the lighter side of life, the fashion and make-up and week-long crushes, without being chained to mindless tedium. I’d like to have an appreciation for silliness without living an especially superficial life. If anything, I believe that having lived through the recent events will clarify for us how the one can and should exist without the other...
