I’m on a hovercraft to Paris with my former best friend. We have to get to the cinematheque. We’re not alone, but no one speaks english so we’re free to look into each other’s minds and see what we’re thinking like we always used to. I miss talking to you.

I’m a Barbie girl, in this Barbie world. -Aqua
Obligatory T-Swizzle lyrics incoming:
“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me.”
I feel this whole song so fucking hard. But this line specifically because I form codependent relationships with people like crazy, and I always feel like a fuckin’ burden/like my friends or husband don’t truly like me.
