LENNON
Standing on the sidewalk outside Real Point magazine is the most surreal
thing Iâve experienced in my almost twenty-four years of life. Iâve spent the
past year since graduating from college interning for a gossip magazine for
next to no pay and at the cost of my brain cells. It was a learning
experience, thatâs for sure, but the vapid nature of the people I worked with
was a bit too much. It wasnât even the talk of makeup and clothes that was
an issueâthereâs nothing wrong with liking those things; I do tooâit was
the catty behavior and backstabbing maneuvers that got on my nerves.
Real Point is my fresh start. Theyâve been in existence only three
years, which is practically a newborn in the print world, but their
willingness to push boundaries and not dance around delicate issues, while
also covering lighter topics, isnât something every magazine is capable of.
Itâs why theyâve been able to grow rapidly in a dying industry.
Taking a deep breath, I smooth my charcoal pencil skirt and adjust my
pale-pink silk blouse. Thereâs no need for the gestureâmy outfit is perfect
and not out of place in the slightestâbut my nerves are certainly getting the
best of me.
This is what youâve dreamed of, Lennon.
For as long as I can remember, Iâve wanted to write. It started with me
writing about my everyday life in my childhood diary. Tales of my
adventures with my brother and his friend. We called ourselves the Three
Amigos for the longest time. That was the beginning of my love of writing.
My parents are disappointed that all I want to do with my life is be a
writerâtheir words, not mineâbut I know if theyâd gotten their wish, Iâd
be married to one of their friendsâ rich sons and pregnant by now.
Iâm constantly dodging calls from my mom trying to set me up on a
blind date with some poor unsuspecting soul. She wasnât a very attentive
mother while I was growing up, but now that Iâm an adult, she sure does
care about who I end up with.
I know I come from a privileged background, and the last name Wells
carries a lot of weight in certain circles, but Iâve always wanted to make
something of myself on my own. As much as I can, at least. This feels like
my chance to do that.
After pushing open the doors to the renovated building that was once a
warehouse, I take the elevator up to the top floor.
I love that the office is in Brooklyn and not in some shiny brand-new
skyscraper in Manhattan. This place has character, just like the magazine
itself. Itâs not cold and clinical; it has charm and life.
With a whoosh, the doors open, and I step out in my stilettos.
The loft space is filled with long tables with brightly colored desktops
set up at intervals. Conversation buzzes as employees mill about. I have to
tamp down the urge to smile. The energy here is infectious.
