You knew it would hit you eventually, you didn’t realize it would hit this soon, in this place. The place where everyone comes to escape you didn’t anticipate that it would welcome it with open arms. You’re searching for your phone, time is creeping by slowly so are the faces in the crowd the laughter in the air, the thrills, the yells and the music that pumps through the speaks too loud, you want to escape the place, where everyone came to escape. The time hits, the time to go home your hair is a mess, your makeup is smeared you’re suddenly sober, you feel rejuvenated not the night but from the new feeling that you feel, you’re not some lost girl chasing for the word beautiful anymore, especially not from boys who are only interested in exploiting that, you’re you and you feel good. every lump, every bulge of fat that you use to hate, your thighs that rub together, no longer matter. you don’t need that shit anymore and you just realized how amazing it feels when it finally hits.
