Fruit-less Journey

Original photograph of author.

Flipping through a magazine

scrolling through Instagram

my heart beating frantically

my fingers moving furiously

afraid

I won’t catch it all.

The best hairstyle,

the best outfit,

the best shoes.

I feel myself slowing down

trying to be

someone

other than me

is a fruitless journey.

XO,

Laveet
