Counting calories always just made me want to eat more! Maybe because it made me focus more on food than I would normally? I think I actually eat fewer calories since I stopped counting them.

This is true. They were so plucky! LOOK HOW WE MADE A FRIDGE OUT OF THE RIVER, WE’RE SO COOL.

She’s just beautiful. I hope she runs far away from the Kardashian clan and goes off to spend her youth backpacking, or something.

I can’t do curling-iron hair. Back in the mid 2000s I used to straighten my hair basically ever day, but now I’m pretty much like “NOPE, natural it is!” I never managed to learn how to do those loose curling iron curls that became so popular in the past few years.

Agree with all of this.

This is a really good comment. Honestly, I will be the first to admit that I have a hard time with people who are really sarcastic and brash. It’s not a problem with those people, but a problem with me— I just have a hard time dealing with that kind of personality since it’s so opposite mine. I think a lot of people…

I find that as time passes I judge people less harshly. When I was younger I had all kinds of ridiculous narratives about who people were and how much they sucked. Now I kind of just let them be themselves. You have to meet people where they are.

This. Really, I don’t give a crap what strangers think of me but there are some situations where someone’s perception has to be corrected. At one time in college I almost lost my bff because I realized she’d come to see me as a shallow and attention-seeking asshole. Yes I was kind of behaving like that at the time,…

Yeah, count me among the people who are NOT terrified of this kind of thing. You know what terrifies me? Having a baby with no way to control for whether it will be healthy or have some kind of terrible debilitating illness. Because you can never know. Not for certain, no matter how healthy you and your partner may…

Oh wow, that’s incredible to see them in person! I hope I can someday. I have never been so in love with a movie character’s wardrobe in my life. Some of my favorites were actually the comparatively simple ones that she wore in more ‘casual’ situations as opposed to in official government settings, (although her…

Yeah, just once I’d like for one of these celebrities to say “Well, actually, I was a mean girl bitch in HS but then I realized I wasn’t God’s gift to the universe and I grew as a person and changed!” I mean, that’s still relatable, anyone can relate to coming to a realization of your own flaws. I feel like the way…

Your teenage self sounds awesome

This is me. I love socializing but while I’m doing it I’m always half-fantasizing about the book I’m going to read when I get home or how I’m going to write this new scene of my novel.

It’s funny, I am one of those ‘quieter’ types but I actually love huge crowds. I feel like I can get lost in them, in a good way. Medium-sized groups make me more nervous, although not nearly so much as when I was younger.

Julianne Moore said something like that, I think? /embarrassedIknowthis

This reminds me of the time in 2009 I gave all my premium denim away. Best choice ever. And then I proceeded to spend the next 5 years never wearing pants.

I think the idea is that the Target-shoppers are supposed to WANT to be the WASP base...or something. Isn’t that generally the point of cheapified designer Target lines?

WHAT is with the guys in cars? I was another whose “first time” was from guys in a car. I was about 12 and let me say I was NOT an early bloomer, if anything I looked younger than that and I was wearing a coat, but some guys in a car shouted at me anyway. I remember feeling really surprised and awkward but also…

regardless of opinions on the film itself, the clothing worn by the characters were works of freaking art.

I haven’t seen this yet but I am the same age as these characters and this review is why I’m happy I don’t remotely consider my best friends to be other versions of me. They’re themselves and I like them that way.
