Today at the MoMA was kind of like six oft-forgotten credits of art history brought to life. Also, I spent a lot of time thinking about who was a New Yorker and who wasn’t while on the street today. I determined real new yorkers don’t believe in crosswalk signals. I like that.

Here is an open letter to myself. (First half.)

Dear Jenny,

1. Forget about being cool. The real you is awkward; embrace it. You know how there’s nothing more painful than watching someone try SO HARD to be cool? Yeah. Don’t do that.

2. Time and time again you’ll think about going vegan, and then you’ll remember how the priest at your grandma’s funeral charged you with the task of learning her famous meatball recipe. You’re never going to be vegan. That’s okay.

3. Figure out a way to get back to Europe. Europe was the best, wasn’t it?

4. The great thing about being an only child is that you get to choose your brothers and sisters. You have some of the best. Never forget this.

5. Stop apologizing so much. You’re fine. You’re fine.

6. One of life’s biggest disappointments is realizing that boys sometimes really are like the after-school specials, in that they’ll say anything to sleep with you, and you will. And they will subsequently forget about you, and it will hurt.

7. That said, remember the men who have shown you love, who have shown you what it means to be a decent man. Don’t confuse the boys with the men.

8. Fine-tuning your tolerance for alcohol has been one of the biggest gifts you have given yourself. You haven’t puked since March 2009. Keep it up.

9. Remember that one time you had that Abbey Road Side-B sing-along at the top of Matt Wilson’s stairwell? Those are life’s Peak Moments. Commit yourself to having more of them.

10. Make more photographs.

11. Know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run.

12.  Quit freaking out about your body. Everyone’s too busy being insecure about his or her body to worry about your body.

13. Someone you greatly respect once told you, “You are your own force.” Make this your mantra for Year 28.

14. When in doubt, put on the red lipstick. It’s never steered you wrong.

I can’t get enough of this song today.

I guess as a shy white girl growing up in the West Michigan suburbs, I really get how frustrating it is to wait for your heroin dealer to show up.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well, they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.

On her pancreatic cancer: “I don’t have to talk about my health with anybody other than my doctors. The problem has been resolved … I am not one to do a lot of talking about my personal health or business. There are a lot of people who will talk about anything, as long as there is somebody listening. That’s not Aretha.”

I’ll have what she’s having.
