isn’t it strange that we don’t name ourselves? because if i had the choice, i would be named: the girl with wavy or curly hair that never belongs anywhere or the girl who believes in God more than herself the girl who fears rejection like it is Covid-19 the girl who wished upon a star, but is still waiting on her delivery the girl who is senseless who knows nothing about anything the girl whose best friend left her when she was thirteen the girl who associates made up or distant people with safety and security the girl who listens to too much music and it clouds her judgment the girl who re-enacts movies after she sees them play onscreen the girl who gets lost in Disney movies and doesn’t enjoy reality the girl who died after eighth grade and is despising the high school experience the girl who purposely curses herself on friday the thirteenth the girl who lost her mind and has lost all her glory eruption, disaster, ugly, failure, useless, dramatic, romantic, not even close to funny, unintelligent, boring, exhausting to be around, psychotic, waste of space, crazy the girl who is anyone, but what my parents named me the girl named…
i was gonna text my friend, “isn’t it weird that we don’t get to name ourselves,” but i chickened out lol. why do our parents get to name us tho?
