As someone yg having difficulties in love, in relationships with parents, wanting to move out, wanting to be a new me perhaps. Im not necessarily sad or just having depression etc, cuma rasa yeah this world is fucked up in a way. Like how i am supposed to react or feel with people around. I think im also a people pleaser a little bit but i kept myself alone as well. And the parents huhu, i hope i dont have to struggle as much as maddie tho. But in a way, i did felt the same as she is with her parents.
