everything, everthing

the white room

❁

i've listened to more music than you have. no matter how much you love music, i've listened to more. in my white room with white walls and white furniture, the vinyls and record player are the only thing that provide color. i only get the new shiny records no old vintage ones sadly.

i like to think about how the record gets transported here to be. to be vacuum sealed tight for no germs to get me sick. imagining things is probably all that i do to pass time. running my fingers through the pages, the cover having its glossy shine and the new record smell that i'm sure everyone knows.

the first task for me to do when the package arrives is to rip open the wrapping that i'm sure the factory robots sanitized for me as it traveled on a conveyor belt. the next thing i do is to write on a piece of paper that i slip into the cover of the record for each one that i have.

im not sure why i do this. i mean there's no one else other than my stepfather shawn that would borrow my music. my only friends, riley matthews and lucas friar don't exactly enjoy my taste but we can agree on a few songs. they say i have "an amazing voice" but i highly doubt it. it's always interesting to talk to them though.

but shawn is different. shawn came into our family after my dad left. kermit left after he found out that mom was pregnant. it broke her heart and i remember seeing her cry on the day that would be their ten year anniversary.

but then shawn came. at first he was just my nurse. the one who came and took care of me while mom went to work. mom and shawn "instantly clicked", i like to say. i mean from the way they looked at each other you could tell it was meant to be. i was happy, mom was happy.

rewards if found (check all that apply)

this part always takes me the longest time to write.

1. go to a picnic with me (maya) in a field full of pollen full wildflowers like sunflowers and poppies.
2. drink tea, mostly green, with me (maya) at the top of a building and enjoy the sunset.
3. go sightseeing in europe to discover art and eat many european foods.

sometimes the rewards aren't as spectacular but still wonderful

1. go to an thrift store with me (maya) and play dress up

childish i know but hey, girls just gotta have fun.

2. go to a coffee shop and have a meaningful conversation with me (maya)

3. go to a music concert with me me (maya) and sing to every song

and sometimes the reward is just

1. me, maya
