cute.

'“I think it’s so cool that you write.”
“Thanks.”
“I wish I could write. I’ve got all these intense thoughts, but I can’t keep them in my head long enough to get them down on paper.”
“Well, that’s the big trick.”
“Truth is, I’m totally neurotic. One minute I can be walking down the street totally cool and then the next I’m depressed for no reason. I’m totally self-conscious. Like before I say something, I say it in my head first so it doesn’t come out wrong.”
“Doesn’t that seem like a waste of time?”
“It only takes a second. I get really distracted all the time, too.”
“What’s distracting you now?”
“Your nose.”
“Oh, thanks a lot.”
“No, no, it’s just so cute. I hate my nose too. It’s too big. But I think it depends on my hair.”
“Yeah. I see what you mean.”
“So what do you want to be when you grow up?”
“I think this might be it. What do you wanna be when you grow up?”
“I’d like to move back to Iowa and have kids and be a cop. Do you mind if we just lie here? I get so lonely in the city. Sometimes it’s just nice to lie with someone.”
“Sure. We could do that.”
It made me wonder how someone so beautiful could ever be lonely.'
