My name is Harley Gibson. I'm 26 years old, a native of California, and yeah, I'm a girl. My parents thought it would be really cool and edgy to give me and my three sisters typically masculine names, so instead of Rose, Suzy, Margaret and Laura, we're named Peyton, Harley, Carson and Andie.
Right now I live on the east coast-- the Big Apple. I followed Peyton here about four years ago, with $50 to my name, a backpack full of denim cutoffs and those circular Lennon sunglasses I bought from the airport gift shop. I spent the first night with two college freshmen boys, drinking beer and playing Halo, because I had nowhere else to go.
Now I take pictures for a living. Being a college drop out doesn't exactly prepare you for much, especially not the hard fall to the pavement when it's time to wake up. I live with two highly accomplished women, and I have a boyfriend who's just as aimless as me. They ask me what I want to do.
I don't know what to say.
Guess I kinda like where I am.
