I literally relate to Astrid from white oleander so much. Like the way she changes based on the people around her reminds me of me a lot. Like sometimes I feel like my personality is so influenced by other people, or what side of tiktok I'm on lmao. How she goes from innocent little girl too pink flirty teen to tough tomboy to elegant promising student to goth working girl. And then only becomes her own person when she moves to new York with Paul (my dream lol)
Also Paul is literally my husband I wanna date a sweet artsy skater boy sooo bad

having a friendship crush is so much more embarrassing than it should be. like. i want to hang out at your house & babysit your siblings & help plan your birthdays & i want nothing in return. whatever it was they said in white oleander . love humiliates you or whatever

I can’t even find peace in the many things you hate, mother.
You’re not letting me
cause deep down I’ll always know what I wish to be untrue.
