Dear Candy Girls,

I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got classes, homework, friends, responsibilities, stalkees crushes, skin/hair problems, a life. I know that. (Except for the skin/hair problems part, because maybe you’re perfect and you don’t have beauty woes of any kind, and in that case I apologize for implying that you do and also bow down to your flawlessness; but otherwise we’re all in this together Troy and Gabriella-style because I really miss my long hair from this time last year and I have a zit on my chin that is pretty much set on not going away, ever.) I know you’re busy.

But if you have at least 30 minutes* of your day to spare, trust me, you’ll want to watch this short film. It’s based on a poem written and performed by the insanely talented Derrick Brown, and it. Is. Just. Amazing.

It is 2:40 AM as I type this, so that would be all.

*Includes time allowance for loading, replaying, and sitting in awed, stunned silence. It should be accurate—I used my calculator. You’re welcome.

(Holy?) hugs,
Marla
