invein asked: omg see I think at the time I was joking but now I'm just like - "it could be called dearlauragrace and it could have posts that were just like dearlauragrace, today I was talking to an awful customer for 20mins and then went on lunch, and outside it was cold and clear and you said, clear and bored, 'I am oh so fascinated, I am oh so entertained' and everything was better" and oh god it would be the most indulgent thing ever but maybe also sort of perfect??
the thing about loving her is that i am always ENTIRELY TOO EARNEST, but that’s not so bad i think, because now you too have been entrapped into wanting to be entirely too self-indulgent entirely too earnestly along with me.
dear laura grace, this has been the best summer of my life partly b/c your music is like a thread running through all of it, and i’m not even an american abroad

Truth is:
I was always that kind of girl.
Truth is:
they don’t make dresses any whiter than
mine.
Truth is:
I am not Demeter’s daughter.
I am Heisenberg’s ripe tomato
I am Niels Bohr’s piece on the side.
In the winter I am a particle.
In the summer I am a wave.
And I didn’t get to be queen of hell
by letting folks off easy.
