I did something small and terrifying today. I applied for a job. Not just any job—it's an archive assistant position at the city's small art history library. It pays almost the same as my current job, but it's in a room with books and quiet. I'm so underqualified it's laughable, and I probably won't get it. But for ten minutes while filling out that application, I wasn't a convenience store clerk. I was Jessica, the girl who used to get lost in libraries for fun. That version of me feels like a stranger, but I miss her. Wish me luck? Or just send some calm vibes so I stop refreshing my email every five minutes. 📚🤞
