i remember one morning getting up at dawn. there was such a sense of possibility. you know that feeling? And i remember thinking to myself that this is the beginning of happiness...

it was happiness. it was the moment. right then.

You could ink yourself until everyone knows all the things you love. You could wear uniforms that gave you all the authority in the world. Lose weight until there was nothing left. Paint the face. Suck in your gut.
