Don’t try to play therapist, I do plenty shit that “fulfills” me.

Im not haunted by my family’s legacy or whatever the fuck. I have time for other stuff— like photography and shit.

fair enough.

i guess i just don’t *get it. i’m not sure if i have the want to look good on paper, even my parents wanted it.

Who do you /think/ gives a shit about me looking good on paper .ᐣ Plus I dunno — guess it’s a status thing, a school is only as good as it’s football team so it’s a big fucking deal to be on it

margaret is fascinated by her parents, even if she won’t outright admit it. they both seem to be so spectacular, and she was just. . . margaret. she can’t help but to dig in their old things to feel some of that greatness.
