There's gonna be one less lonely girl.

I am a person and a woman. My thoughts are not unusual. They are all well within the scope of average human notion. I am a real person and I am alive. I am not a single emotion or a caricature and I cannot truthfully be simplified or reduced to a single dimension.

I was born a little baby and I will die an old woman. I have, now, a temporary place in this world and it shall not always be this way. I was born into a modern age in the same way that every child is born into a modern age. Every aspect of society was as new as it had ever been.

Today, I also live in a modern age in the same way that my grandparents were born and lived in a modern age and my babies will be born and die in a modern age. The present never gets old. That is one of the many reasons I like to be alive.

I live on the Earth in a house made of wood and steel and cement foundations. The exterior walls are covered with hard stucco and the insides are painted and carpeted..

I am not pregnant at this time but some day I will be pregnant and it will be a pregnancy in a modern age.

Sometimes I go to the grocery store to buy new food because I have eaten all of the old food. My skin is always regenerating, the cells regenerating. I am becoming real, all over again, every day of my life and someday it will stop and I will be a dead woman in a modern age. I will have had real thoughts and I will have been a real person.

The present is nothing like the past but they are very closely related and will forever be, I believe, locked in sequence. Beliefs are accepted as truth by the believer and I believe that we all must have an idea of the truth in order to live. As I speak these words, they are leaving my mouth and they are leaving the present. They are joining the story of the past.

My name is Megan Thomas and at the time of this statement it is my truth and I am a real person with real ideas. Someday my babies will be real and my house will collapse. Someday, every town on Earth will be a city and every building will be a skyscraper but this is not the truth at present. Someday, my ideas about the future will be a part of the past.
