"You're so pretty."

"Not in my bones." 

It's hard to feel pretty anymore when I'm in so much pain. Arthritis? Dropping estrogen? Spinal discord? Swollen discs? Nerve damage? My guess is as good as mine --- there are so many of them. I'm tired. So very tired. But maybe still pretty; I just don't care anymore. I'd trade it in for haggery if it meant I could exist without misery. (What a horrifying movie. Carrie was another super good and creepy one. That's another thing: I've completely lost my interest in horror. I'm mostly just interested in movies of the mind, and kindness.)
