it’s past midnight

“I don’t know. I feel a little… a little bit like I failed. You know? I’m watching all my friends move on with their lives (…) and they’re all moving forward. And it’s like I’m stuck here, standing still.“

No! Get out of my head, Brooke Davis (SE6E05)! I didn’t even watch the show!

I’m trying to sleep, but the sad violin is grating on my ears.

I should be tucked in under a warm blanket, but I’m sitting here, staring at the screen. But you know who’s cozy and comfortable?

My anxiety! Sleeping right on my gut.

Ph-ph, sleeping?? What am I saying? She’s having a party.

Fek, it hurts!


Be mean, Kejt! Be meaner! Because all this is brought to you by your lousy wish to please everyone, be a placeholder in your own life, and not be even a tiny bit mean!

But I can’t say that. Because it’s not my nature. I can’t start with that. That cannot be something I give to the world!

But I’m just angry at how being good can get you killed!

Kill them with kindness?? But it kills me! I’m twenty-feking-six, for fek sake!


This older sister is burned out. So don’t take advice from me. Or maybe do. I’m smart for others. But listen, the best thing you can do is to watch what I’m doing and do the exact opposite.

  1. What does success really mean to you, outside of money? Forget the cars, the houses, and the bank balance for a minute. When you are alone and you think about your life, what would make you feel like you have truly made it? Is it peace of mind, a happy family, good health, freedom to live the way you want, or knowing that you helped people and left something good behind? What does that kind of success look like for you, and do you think you are close to it already?
