I tried so hard to always behave, to get good grades, to never disappoint you like teenagers do to their parents, so you could get a break because you deserve it so much after everything. But I just did it now, as an adult woman who should’ve known better, and I don’t… I don’t even know who I am anymore. I feel so confused and lost.” “Oh, sweetie.”
