I’ve known both of these girls for 22 years. It seems crazy now, mostly because it means I’m 22. I took this, 19 floors up on just another Friday, which is always the Friday of our lives. (And yes, DUH, I’m on Instagram: @tianareid.)

the week
It’s never crystal clear, but that’s not really the problem. The “problem” (in non-clinical terms) is the lack of digestion, the superficiality of numbers and facts and more numbers and facts. The day itself, if it’s banal, it’ll make for a lifetime of nothingness.
On Mondays, when it’s sunny and warmer than usual, I actually feel more than okay, with a little pep in my step and Barbie-pink lipstick on.
On Tuesdays, feeling cloudless after a fresh start, I drink more than I should (?). I end up waking up the next morning deflated like the day after high school prom.
And then what else is there? Tuesday turns into a few more weekdays and then it’s the weekend and who remembers those?
"Objectivity is a myth in criticism, as it’s an inherently subjective form. Our tastes and opinions are colored by our experiences and biases and there’s no way around that. We’re not robots. I’m not sure where, in history, criticism got mistaken for journalism but they aren’t the same thing at all. I cringe all the time when I see people mistake critics (or worse - lowly bloggers) for journalists and hold them to the standards of that craft. Personally, I’m only a journalist sometimes. When I’m doing feature oriented reporting I try to be as objective as possible. When I’m working in a critical capacity my principle goal is honesty, not objectivity."
