A sophomore year is a sophomore year. Insecurities, teenage drama, friendship and love grow strong. How am I going to survive it all? The fear of missing out. The fear of not being enough. The need to be popular and outshining. Attaining good grades, getting into the top colleges. The hunger to do it all and to be unique.
On one of these days, when I am hurting under the seemingly nothingness of my problems, I tell myself:
Chin up, Princess, or the crown falls.

Remember that moment when I couldn't control my laughter over something that you said? At that precise instant, while I was laughing on the outside, I was savoring the moment inside. I was whisper-shouting 'click, click, click' to capture it in my head and never let go of it.
It's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above. Or staring from the four walls of my body, as if there's a second person in me.
Who am I?
