Miscellaneous thoughts

At first, I was very resistant to teenage growth dramas, but I didn't expect it to be so good! The first-person perspective, plus cute graffiti and rae-style roars, show the heroine's invincible brains. Her fantasies, escapism, fear of not fitting in, screaming with family members, constantly trying to fix life and start over, but fell down again and again and ended up messing everything around. It's so real that you don't want to admit it, right? Among them, taking a peek at the chole diary and comparing the girly girl's first-person perspective with the heroine is a magical stroke! Only then did we better see what rae looks like in the eyes of outsiders, and only then did we realize that we often deny ourselves. It turns out that the goddess that everyone loves also has times of inferiority and weakness.

I don't have such a group of gangs, no good girlfriends like chole, and no admirers like finn. I only have rae as bad selfishness and don't understand my family, low self-esteem, feel bad about everything, no friends to talk to. When danny talks about himself afraid of fitting in, of people thinking that he is weird on seminar, I think about my terrible lonely and depressed life in Taiwan, and it's really depressing. And I can't find such a group of people who can hold me together when everything else falls apart. And I've given up writing a diary for a long time, even with all the psychological struggles that happened in Taiwan, I don't have any records. Because writing it down means more thinking, more sensitivity, and more trouble. Maybe just let it go and see which last fragment of life will remain in your mind, that's enough. Maybe I should buy a good-looking book and write it again after a while, after all, we write to taste life twice.

  • Rae: I am a body dysmorphic without the dysmorphic. I am a bulimic without the sick. I am fat.
