The Middles MAG
December 4, 2008
Everyone is always talking.
Talking about:
Before. Before love. Before life. Before losing a hundred twelve pounds. Before the material world infests your mind with rules about shoes and lipstick shades.
Talking about:
The after. After finding your other half. After dying. After being able to fit into clothes from twenty years ago for who knows why that desire exists in some. After “being happy.”
But what about the in-between?
The middles?
The road there?
I have never seen the cover of Seventeen plastered with someone who isn’t there yet, someone who is on their way. Doesn’t anyone care about those?
About me?

You know your right you don't see people who haven't made their way on the cover of seventeen. Not that I read it. But still they just don't care about the little people like they used to.
