Postcards from the Back of an Uber

There is something very meditative about a late night Uber ride by yourself. Spots of orange from the street lights outside pass gently over your drooping eyelids. The day ahead is yet undefined - hazy without the break of sleep to bring it into focus, but full of the comforting promise of hangover food and duvets. It is at this point that my thoughts turn to some of life’s great questions. Questions I’d like answers to:

1. What if I accidentally marry fuck boy?

2. What if that lump under my armpit is armpit cancer?
