    “Wish I was a single girl again”

    Many more things to say, but I don’t feel like saying them. But one of my favourite new watches in a long time. Eerie to walk out into Hollywood after this one.

    Man, I feel myself at a threshold again. The way I was feeling in my last days in NYC. Not an “if”, but a “when” of when I’d throw myself into self-exile once more. Perhaps this time for…
