live_nikki :: ok it’s been almost an hour. i finished the zine for my father~ but i’mma get tf outta here before my nervous system explodes from being in this crowded room lol. but it was fun.

pre_nikki :: oh. u had a … good time?

post_nikki :: I know that’s right 😎

live_nikki :: yeh I’m glad I went… a tiny lesson in self-trust, patience, and finding the whimsy in the ordinary. y’know: romanticizing it anyway. it was good advice.

pre_nikki :: uhmm ?? so tell us about it???

live_nikki :: h/o I’m driving

pre_nikki :: bruh

post_nikki :: lol

· · ·

live_nikki :: ok so yeah idk, it was fun because it was new and different than my normal. really stepped outside my comfort zone with this one.

pre_nikki :: but u said ur nervous system was gonna explode??

live_nikki :: yeah the room was small and there were lots of kids. In retrospect I think it was more of kid’s event. made me feel kinda awkward. so idk.

post_nikki :: maybe so, but you stayed. you made the zine. you had fun. that’s the takeaway.
