What were you doing when you were 17

What am I doing thinking
about how
to leave? There are so many things that I need to leave, leave the place where I live, leave the people I don’t like, leave the gray city,
and even when I am unable to achieve it quickly, I want to leave the world and see what happens.

A girl gave me a book
"I can only draw a small card for you" on my 17th birthday.

She posted a piece of paper on the title page and wrote the following words:
Left left, your 17 years old When it comes,
it is a piece of candy
to give yourself a love
, you have to be good
, and I will choose my own birthday present next time.

In fact, I have forgotten what gift I bought for her. I have forgotten.

But I remember one of our promises, that is to leave together.

Actually, I have forgotten where I want to go after I leave
.
This seems very literary, but at the age of 17 we are indeed very literary.

The
editor-in-chief of the class who has been to the film magazine for ten days said that you really look like Ellen Page and
you look like her in Junoli, but do you also like her "Hard Candy"?

We laughed together.

I didn't meet any love in that year. The girl's blessing was just written on the paper like that, under a small glittering sticker, glued to the title page, but it was only glued to the title page, and did not enter my life.

But I did all my efforts to leave.

Leave the place where you live, leave the people you don’t like, leave the gray city.

Whip It quotes

  • [Bliss finds Iron Maven waiting for her at the Warehouse]

    Iron Maven: Ruthless, Ruthless, Ruthless.

    Bliss Cavendar: [hesitatingly] Maven, Maven, Maven?

    Iron Maven: Hey, guess how old I am.

    Bliss Cavendar: [guessing] 27?

    Iron Maven: [not at all touched] Oh, that's sweet. I'm 36. Guess when I started skating. I was 31. 'Cause it took me that long to find one thing that I was really good at.

    [Iron Maven stands, staring intently at Bliss]

    Iron Maven: And you know what? I worked my ass off to get it.

    Bliss Cavendar: [nervously] Yeah, me too.

    Iron Maven: [smirks briefly] It's too bad you're only 17.

    [Bliss stares in shock]

    Iron Maven: What do you think the league is gonna say when they find that out? Or your teammates, when they find out you've been lying? That's gonna be rough.

    Bliss Cavendar: [pleading desperately] Maven, please, look...

    Iron Maven: [cutting her off] No, you look. One day it will be your time, Ruthless, but it's not your time now. And if I was you, I wouldn't even bother lacing up those skates.

    [Iron Maven walks away, and Bliss hangs her head and cries]

    Bliss Cavendar: Fuck.
