About Last Night

Dear Kudzu Student Magazine,

Last night I heard a rumbling in the distance, and I wasn’t sure what it was. I tried to turn my head to look but I couldn’t see past a narrow vertical gap in front of me. I think I’m losing my peripheral vision.

My mother tells me it’s a blessing because now I’ll finally be focusing on what’s in front of me. I’m not sure I feel blessed, but I don’t seem to have a choice and I’d rather not argue with her, so I just agree. 

I think I’m losing my agency.

Dr. Regalia recommends I seize my life back by breaking the rule of three whenever I can. It’s very difficult to unlearn something like the rule of three. It’s just not possible. I’ve been trying.

But.

I’m graduating college soon and I haven’t been able to secure a job yet and neither has my friends because the field (our field) (the arts) is being taken over by robots 

and vertical con

tent.  I’m afraid breaking rules is be too much for me right now. Right? No. I guess you wouldn’t know. I’m losing my

Best

Regards,

Dear

I’m losing my peripheral vision.
