The aging process is for giant wheels of cheese, for pheasants turning green, for whiskey in barrels bigger than the art-school apartment where they met and fell in love, back when they were poor. Every sunny morning, which is to say, every morning, Mattie says, “Let’s go out and lay by the pool and accelerate the aging process.” The billionaire is so generous with his recreational drugs that from the moment they wake up until the moment they fall asleep, everything seems hilarious. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments By chloé cooper jones![]() ![]() She resisted this reality by excelling academically and retreating to “the neutral room in her mind” until it passed. ![]() But there is also the pain of being judged and pitied for her appearance, of being dismissed as “less than.” The way she has been seen-or not seen-has informed her lens on the world her entire life.
