Ant in the Swimming Pool RSS

Hi. I'm Caroline.

Ant in the Swimming Pool is the virtual incarnation of my personal philosophy: nostalgia for the old and excitement for the new, finding joy in the details, and drawing inspiration from writing, reading, travel, art, and life in New York City.

p.s. i didn't wash my hair today

for the first time
in a long time
i don’t care if you don’t like me.  
i don’t feel the need to front 
to live my life on stage.
for the first time
in a long time 
i don’t need your approval
i don’t want your praise.  
for the first time
in a long time
i am not afraid.
