Author's Note

not sure if some hidden meaning is explained.

some sections all the words are different, for example the first line- lightning in a field and fading graffiti. metaphors that represent 2 completely different boys.
some are categorized, like the first line of 'types of people'- all weather, but still all different. a hurricane and a cloudless sky are completely different, but still fit under the category of weather. like people!! people may be stereotyped but even among that stereotype all individuals are different.
then for the second line of 'types of girls': if you look at just prom queen, you may think of a stereotypical girly and perfect girl. but rolled up sleeves suggests not so girly, chipped nail polish suggests not so perfect, i's dotted with hearts in her suicide note suggests girly but not so perfect. uniqueness to each girl.

is there a better way I can convey these messages? does the above explanation even make any sense at all haha? I feel like they are too hidden for a reader but I'm not sure how else to write it.

thanks xoxo
