From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Tactile

I’m buried in the fuzzy pile of my tie-dye hoodie, scrolling through TikTok while "The Box" loops endlessly in my earbuds. Everything feels totally sus since they started talking about this being our "new normal," so I just keep running my thumb over the cold plastic of my Star Wars: The Child animatronic, making its ears twitch for a hit of dopamine. The heavy cotton of my oversized sweatpants is the only thing keeping me grounded while the news vibrates on my phone. I’m honestly just vibing in this messy cocoon of fleece and soft fabrics, trying to drown out the weirdness of the world outside.
