some glo ups aint covered in make up and dipped in coconut oil. some are cold and wet in a strange way. some glo ups force you to throw away parts of yourself that no longer fit – no matter how long you’ve had them they. must. go. some glo ups leave you lonelier – wiser – but isolated. some glo ups are private.

shoutout to private glo ups.
