we've been here before, you and i. i've done this before. but, i always deleted these cause i think they're stupid and shit, and i'm not wrong. i just don't care.

you see, the year is 2019 and the day is the 3rd of january and i decided this year i would stop giving a shit about pleasing others cause the only person i should aim to please is myself. and no, i didn't intentially mean that as a masterbation joke, but now it kinda is, so i really just dug that hole myself.

see, the whole of society is corrupt and there's nothing we can do about it, so i'm just going to stop trying to make my parents proud and so should you. smoke some weed. drop a letter grade. go to art school. the point i'm trying to make here is that you shouldn't be doing things you don't want to, and that is what i decided to do this wonderful year.

i don't care about overachieving or extra credit or law school. if i want to be an artist, then fuck it, i'm going to be an artist. i shouldn't let the future dictate my life when it hasn't even arrived yet.

so, i will unapologetically listen to "bad" music that i like and i will write whatever the hell i want and i will go to art school in detroit because i am done pleasing my parents. the whole point of living your life is to live it, and you can't do that if you're trying to be someone you're not.

i don't know if anyone will take what i write in this book thing to heart, but i hope you take the parts like this with you and not the sex jokes. i mean, i guess you can take those too. they are pretty great.

with great love and appreciation,

natalie
