You need no reason to do the things you do. You are only answerable to yourself. You can wear lingerie all day and night if you feel like it. In truth, you can be naked as a jaybird and dance like no one is watching without fear of censure or embarrassment. You recently moved to your own apartment and you feel so much like an adult that you revert to the comforts of your youth. You already ate chocolate for breakfast and washed it down with soda. You left your bed unmade. You have been walking around barefoot and you do not care if the soles of your feet are black as night. You can hear the faint reprimand in your head that sounded like your mother’s voice but you have been having such a great time being on your own that you silence it with loud rock music.
You plan to be a responsible adult but not today. You have already unpacked your personal belongings and carefully placed all your sexy lingerie in the underwear drawer yesterday. You have a date tomorrow with a persistent suitor that promises to move forward to a more romantic path and you want to be ready but today is for you as you celebrate your win for independence. When your friends visit later, you can take them around your spruced up pad as you dine on large slices of pizza downed with beer. Life can be as simple as you want it to be.
