Brooklynn.


Brooklynn. 12" Chili dogs and Thin crusted pizza. Soft aqua and sage. A delicate girl. But is delicate Brooklynns goal? Does Brooklynn want to be known by: New York, Chili Dogs, Pizza, and Green? I'm Brooklynn, and personally, I prefer normal crusted pizza 12" plain hotdogs Brown and Pink. I'm Brooklynn, and personally, I've never been asked: "Do you like being known by a city, defined by a mood, stared at by a classroom full of children whenever a movie takes place in new York, and Big urban cities filled with big sparkly lights?" Perhaps if I were to be asked those questions, I would say: "No thank you. I want to be known by me. By my personality, by Brooklynn being my name, by My favorite activities and sports. By speech team. By archery. By volleyball." Perhaps I'd say: "Im Brooklynn, and that's all I ever want to be known for."
