A Little Princess (1995)
“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics, even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses. All of us. Didn’t your father ever tell you that?”
every girl I’ve ever loved is an instagram model - I deserve whatever is coming to me. my mother tells me when I was a little girl I used to stare into the mirror for hours fascinated by my own reflection / I don’t tell her I would still do that now if I could get away with it. the thing about being alive is every boy I’ve ever loved has loved me back in more grotesque ways. I am pure like an angel and I hang nothing on my bedroom walls except the birthday cards you used to write me. I write poems about fucking and those are the ones that nobody is allowed to read. I want my own body only - only I am beautiful enough for myself. the thing about obsession is everyone is hanging out without me, but only because I said it was okay first.

I can’t believe I actually lived though the full transition from VHS to DVD. Like there are people alive who have never seen a VHS tape….I remember when we were still tryna figure out how the fuck they got a full movie onto a cd.
