For the moment, my life is a little schizophrenic.

I'm astonished by my success.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.

Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through.

I don't just want to catch some guy and have a bunch of kids. I want to make something of myself.

.. All you know is your parents telling you that you're not deserving, you're not worthy, and no one will ever want you. Believe me, tapes like that play so loud, you can't hear anything else. Even when it's clear otherwise.

You don't need to show off your body to catch a boy's eye. You'd best learn that early on, or you'll be bringing home the worst sort of boy.
