[mouth-size]
by Abbie Hart
i always sit after my shower in my damp towel on my bed until it feels like hours and my hair is mostly dry.
(file under: things that make sense)
i have a bookshelf on top of which i put only books that i think look aesthetically pleasing. don’t worry, i’ve read them all. i just don’t organize them alphabetically like the rest of their kin.

i bite my nails but only on certain fingers and i don’t know why as having uneven fingernails causes more anxiety than the thing that caused me to bite my nails in the first place.

i once jammed four fingers side by side in my mouth to prove to my ex-boyfriend that my mouth was bigger than his best friend’s for no apparent reason other than my superiority complex and my need to continue to fill a niche in his life which i guess included having a larger mouth size than his best friend.
