- Hear, hear! Hollywood!
I feel like if I don't
go out to L.
A.
And figure out why
I'm holding on to Francine,
I'll never be able to give
Vivian, like,
all of myself.
I'm gonna go.
You're in love with a girl.
Why are you here?
I don't know what's
wrong with me
that I can't get over her.
Francine, I'm tired
of wondering about you.
Okay? I'm tired of it.
"Achieving motherhood
is not straightforward
for lesbians.
"
No ***.
He was supposed to call
ten minutes ago.
We found a donor.
I don't want some
Joe shmoe that
beat off into a cup.
"Sorry, guys, I think
this is too much for me.
"
*** this.
At this point,
it's been three weeks
since we've had sex.
You gonna be okay to walk?
We were going to have sex.
And then did I just
fall asleep?
Pretty much.
Mom
I just wanted to let you know
I met someone out here.
- Who?
- Her name is chanel.
- How are you?
- I'm good.
How are you?
- Nice to see you.
- It's nice to meet you as well.
Chanel and I, we're almost like
instantly comfortable.
It meant so much more
than a dance.
And the dance was plenty
by itself.
There you go.
Yeah, just like that.
CheersTo Rachel.
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Welcome to the west coast.
I heard the west coast
is the breast coast.
The west coast
may be the breast coast.
I would definitely say
it's inevitable
that me and Whitney
are going to hook up.
Welcome to my crib.
It's a possibility.
Let's talk about how much
you miss me.
You just get under my soul.
Sara can be shady.
Like, she can't trusted.
Some form of leprosy
slowly eating away at my limbs.
I like those limbs.
Sara keeps texting me.
Sara's like a drug to me.
It's like putting
a big ol' bag of ***
in front of a *** addict
And telling them
they can't touch it.
Ohh! Ohh!
Ah huh!

Mmm.
It always feels good to be
intimate with Sara
and, you know, back in her bed.
You want a ride?
Love one.
I keep hearing all this ***
from my friends
about us being together.
But it's like, I don't care
what other people say.
- Hot.
- Yeah.
I feel like Romeo and Juliet.
It's like I'm sneaking
out of, like, one family
to go, like, yon window breaks
to the other.
Oh, but then I'll really die.
That sounds, actually,
accurate.
Like, you would get out alive
and I'd be--
end up dying.
You'd be like, "damn.
"I'm actually just sleeping.
Damn, ***, don't take it

What is this in here?
Where's the food?
Dog land.
This is different,
it's doglandia.
Aw, look at that.
Beautiful.
That's a beautiful doggy.
Let's go get it.
"Let's go get it.
"
I forgot this is a dog park,
which means dog poop.
I love you.
Oh, my God.
Sara, I'm still trying
to figure out
what the hell is going on with.
I know, can we pet it, please?
I've never seen one
that color before.
It's so beautiful.
I love the feeling
I get when I'm with her.
I have these huge moments
of, "you're the one.
"
- Oh, did it hurt?
Did you hurt--
- can you throw it again?
- It's so soft.
You know,
obviously she has been
unhealthy for me in the past.
But we have
a very intense attraction.
Even as destructive as it is,
she's like a vice, you know?
Come on, Sam!
Come on, Sammy!
Yay! Look at that.
Who's that?
I don't know,
but that's a cute dog.
He's like
Is that whit?
Ugh, no ***' way.
- With Sara.
- With Sara.
Shay and I take all the dogs
to the dog park.
And there's Whitney with Sara.
This is my life, fml.
Oh, my God.
All I can think is like,
"really?
Really, Whitney?"
Gotta keep an eye on that.
Sara is just a bad seed,
and it's like Whitney
is brainwashed
by the golden *** right now.
I just don't get it.
Do you mind if we
get out of here?
Like, I'm feeling like
I don't wanna be here.
The *** are out,
and I don't mean the dogs.
Ah, gee.
Oh, oh, oh, trouble ♪

Oh, jeez.
I'm headed back to Francine's.
My parents were in town,
so I ended up spending the night
at their hotel with them
just to give Francine
some time to cool down.
First night I got here
was a disaster.
Frannie came in just ready
to roast me.
I think she's just scared,
and I think it's easier
for her to be mad at me,
'cause if she forgives me,
then she runs the risk
of being hurt again.
Three years have gone by
since we've broken up,
and I don't know
what it's gonna be like
seeing each other every day.
But in no way am I only
moving out to L.
A.
for Francine.
I mean, work
is my number-one priority.
And I'd like to kind of
create a magazine
for lesbians,
because in a lot of places,
they still think that we're
these birkenstock-wearing girls.
But I think that
the times have changed.
And we need a publication
that shows who we are now.
All right, all right.
Sounds good.
I'm gonna take a shower,
so why don't you just,
whenever you're
getting off work,
give me a call.
Frannie and I, our relationship
is pretty volatile.
We fight like a married couple.
It's like we bicker,
and then two minutes later,
we're like, "oh, so tomorrow
we'll go to the beach, yeah?"
And it's like, people
are just so, like,
"you just acted like
you hated each other,
and now you're fine.
"
Yes, you're good now.
Yes, your salad is good.
You're good now.
I'm proud of you.
Your behavior last night,
however, was not good.
Yeah.
No.
Francine, you're good.
You are good now.
You are good now.
You are good now.
No buts.
No buts.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Oh, my goodness.

Marissa just texted me
and said her flight landed.
I'm trying to make sure, like,
her visit here
isn't, like, completely gay.
You know?
Riss! What's up, mama?
I'm good.
How are you?
Marissa's one of my straight
friends from college.
She's coming to town
to see L.
A.
life
and L.
A.
lesbians.
I just came out a year ago.
So she's gonna be helping me
size 'em up.
I told you I was
stalking this girl.
You were stalking somebody?
It is like stalker
appreciation month or something.
No, it's not.
- Or stalker awareness month--
same ***.
There's no such thing
as stalker awareness month.
So I got to go
meet her last night.
Cool as hell.
Then she went
to the club with us afterwards.
Even better.
I always ask
for a recommendation,
'cause I never know
what to get.
I'm just a little nervous,
because I don't want it
to be like I want it so bad
that I make it up in my head.
I've only met chanel once,
and I'm really into her.
I'm like a little horn dog
around her.
And I'm just hoping
she's feeling it too.
I'm saying lesbians
fall in love
in all of 30 minutes.
Really?
Because you don't have
that *** that's being cool
and pacing himself,
and he got eight other
*** on the side.
You know what I mean?
So I gotta pa--you know?
That doesn't exist.
I met her yesterday.
Okay, you're in *** already?
Yeah, it's like
crazy ***, though.
It's like, "I like you.
"
"I like you too.
"
"Okay, well,
then we wanna go for it?"
Let's just not put all our eggs
into this one basket.
Sometimes I get caught up
in girls that are nothing like
what I'm looking for
or what I need.
Marissa's always been glad
to put me back on that road.
I just keep thinking
about her eyelashes last night
were, like, so out and bold.
- Lord have mercy.
- It ain't even been 24 hours.
She comin' hard ♪
she comin', she comin' hard ♪
she comin' hard, she comin' ♪
she comin' hard, hard,
she comin' hard ♪
Can you think of anybody else
you'd wanna ask?
The person who we thought
was gonna be our donor
is out.
This is insane.
I mean, I guess
this whole situation
just kind of was
a punch in the stomach.
I have decided that I am, um
Ill-informed or have
un--mis--underestimated
people's biological connection
to their--
I just--I just don't get it.
- I--because, like,
every day, they shoot it off
into a towel,
and it's no big deal.
Like, instead of shooting it off
into a towel, give it to me.
Ideally, it would be awesome
if I could make
my own baby with her.
UmBut I can't.
I can't do anything about it.
I just gotta go--
you know, go with the process.
And, like, that's the thing
I hate about it,
is that we have no control.
And we're, like, stuck.
You ovulate in a month.
They're like--uh
I'm ready, you know?
Like, I'm ready now.
I'm excited now.
We need to find a donor.
And I still really want
to find someone that we know.
Like, our future
- Right.
Well, look on--
- is hanging in his--
- His hands.
In his balls.
Our future is in his balls.
I mean, we have
a couple options.
The--the asking--
asking somebody
to give up your ***
to make a baby,
uh, is a little daunt--
like, how do you--
would you like some wine?
Also, can we have your ***?
I think we just start
asking people on the street.
I think we should put out
a craigslist ad.
"We need your junk.
"
It could work.
It could totally ***' work.
Have I lost you?
Are you divorcing me?
It was hot.
- Oh, you know what I want?
- Mm-mm.
- Spicy tuna crunch roll.
- There you go.
Romi, tell me
what salads they have,
'cause I don't have my glasses.
Um, they have seaweed,
cucumber
Let me see.
My relationship with my mom
is a big part of my life.
My mom and my dad divorced
when I was six.
And then a few years later,
my mom married a woman.
So she understands the stuff
that we go through together.
So how are you?
How's work?
I'm the cashier, so you have
to be, like, exactly on point.
- Right.
- So one time,
I was like 75 cents over,
just under a dollar, but--
- they wrote her up.
- They wrote you up for it?
- And it's her first month.
- But she's dyslexic,
so that's something that--
- but then that's not
a good position for you.
Well, it's the only job I have.
Right, so I'm just saying,
heads-up to both of us,
which scared me,
kelsey might lose her job soon.
And that scares you because
It scares me
because I'm gonna have
no help at all.
Lately, kelsey has been
a little bit of a challenge.
She's 23, you know.
She's never had to pay rent
and pay for her bills.
And I know she feels bad
because she doesn't want
to lose the job either.
So I think that half
the things I'm throwing at her,
it's--it's--
she doesn't even know
what the *** I'm talking about.
I can't take care of me
and kelsey on everything.
I want to be able to provide.
I want all those things too,
and then--
- then you gotta
do something about it.
Oh, my God.
I know that!
I mean, ***, all I ask for
is bus money.
- Babe, I pay for drinks,
food, roof--
- but I don't want the drinks.
- I mean, everything.
She asked for the large one.
At least start looking
for a second job.
Okay, I'm the one cleaning
And cooking.
She does do this.
If I could pay her to do that,
that would be a job,
which is kind of
what it is now.
I'd pay kelsey
to clean the house and--
- it's unspoken.
Make food for me
and rub my head at night.
- That's about
the extent of the intimacy--
she rubs your head?
These days, yes.
- Stop!
- Ohh, guys.
Kelsey needs more sex.
She needs more emotional.
She needs me
being affectionate.
- That's normal, honey.
- I'm 23.
I need sex.
- That's normal.
- I need sex too.
She used to be so passionate
and romantic
and, you know, couldn't keep
her hands off me.
And now she just
I did.
I would, like,
want to *** her
every time I saw her.
And I would just
grab her and hug her and
I get--I get in my head.
I have a lot going on.
And I've been pissed off
lately at her.
I don'tWant to come home
and rip your clothes off.
Really?
You've been pissed off at me?
Just because of, like,
the whole, like, money thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
God.
If you stop, it's harder
To get back.
And I know that.
And I feel like
it's getting to that point.
So she needs to feel
connected, right?
I can work on that.
Okay?
I'll be better.
Well, hey.
Hi.
I'm tired.
Yeah.
I got wine.
You want some?
This how lesbians open wine.
I wasn't going to.
- How did you get
a-a bruised lip?
- It's a mystery bruise.
- Yeah.
No, I swear to God.
- So the rumors are true.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait a minute.
Wait just a minute.
I love how fast word travels.
Wait, why?
What word did you hear?
- Nothing.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Tell me.
I just heard that you
hooked up with Sara again.
And who told you that?
- Does it matter?
- Yeah, it does matter.
It does.
It does.
It doesn't.
It doesn't matter.
Who told you that?
I'm not telling you.
It doesn't matter.
I'm not telling you.
Who the *** told you that?
I'm not telling you.
Tell me the first letter
of their name.
No, I'm not telling you,
is what I just said.
Point is, is what happens.
I can't believe, like,
seriously--
- no, hold on a second.
Whitney has an alternate life.
What the ***
are you talking about, dude?
- Because, like, I was--
when I--
before, she was like,
"*** Sara and her fake ***.
"
And--
and, "I can't stand
that ***.
"
And then she sleeps with her.
I feel like all of us
have been there
to pick up the pieces
of this really
tumultuous relationship
for a whole year now.
And I think, you know,
we're all exhausted by that.
And I can't understand
why she's not completely
exhausted by it.
How did it go from,
"go ahead and punch
her fake ***"--
- all right, let's not
talk about that.
Well, you said
it doesn't matter.
You said it, not me.
Um
You don't have to answer
to anybody.
You're *** right I don't,
'cause I'm a *** adult,
number one.
And number two--
- you don't have
to answer to me.
I'm just your best friend
asking you questions,
that's all.
But I'm saying, like,
I can either
get butt hurt over ***,
or I can just like take it
like I already did.
I'm single, and I do
what I want to do.
I have no idea what it is
about Sara
that makes Whitney keep
going back to her.
I really don't even think
there's a decision-making
process.
It's like--she, like,
sprinkled voodoo dust
on top of Whitney's head.
I think she's hypnotized.
I need a cigarette.

a little more about you ♪

Moving to L.
A.
, I was hoping
to reconnect with Whitney,
but I haven't spent
any time with Whitney
since I've been here, really.
And I don't like feeling like
I'm not important.
It's kind of a slap
in the face.
It's a slap in the vaj.
It hurts.
You know, ***
makes you feel good.
And when you're pissed off,
it's great.
I'm totally gay gold star,
but for some reason,
chicks sucking ***--
got it.
'Cause they look like
they're ***.
I'm not sure what Whitney
and Sara's deal is.
I think Whitney is making
stupid decisions.
And she's thinking
with her little head
and not her big one.
Oh, my God.
Ohh.
She hasn't held Sara
accountable
for anything that she's done.
Oh, my God.
Oh!
Oh!
Ah!
Ohh! Ohh!
Oh, my God.
Ohh.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

- Hi.
- Welcome home.
Good.
How are you?
- I started cutting up the gar--
I'm gonna make the broccoli.
Do you know what I'm making?
You're making the mahi mahi,
but I'm making the garlic.
Now that Claire is here,
I'm not sure
what's gonna happen.
Mm, what happened
to the cutting board?
I don't know, but I searched
all over for it.
Your first love
is always gonna have
that place in your heart.
Did you know, when I was little,
I used to love Ricky Martin?
I thought he was so sexy.
Now he's gay, just like you.
And obviously,
I'm not over her.
It's like you try not
to have feelings for people.
But the thing's still there,
you know, in my heart
or wherever it is.
I've gotten good at things.
Are you Martha Stewart yet?
But then, she still
has a girlfriend.
Like, I just feel like
it's kind of scary.
- Betty cracker?
- You're so mean.
Betty cracker.
I like this workin' out,
cookin'.
It's like
A changed woman.
Francine and I aren't
the same people
that we were when we dated.
I dated her from 19 to 23,
and now I'm 26.
So it's like I've grown up
since then.
I'm not that kid that I was
when I dated her.
How many years has it been
since we cooked dinner together?
It's been a long time, Claire.
Don't you like how
I'm talking to you now?
Really trying to not be--
- not Nazi over--
- Not be controlling.
Claire keeps talking
about how she changed.
And she's grown up now.
And I really want
to believe her.
But, you know, actions speak
louder than words.
So we'll see what happens.
Do you like my collection
of lesbian magazines?
Why don't I invite my mom over
and go like this
I dated Claire for a long time.
But, um, my parents
don't know I'm gay.
These aren't Claire's.
My mother, she's like,
"well, how are you going
to have a baby
if you keep hanging around
with girls?"
And I'm like, "oh, my God.
"
"Herro.

- Look at--this is
the girl you're gonna die over.
- Who?
- Look at her.
I'm still thinking
about the perfect way
to tell them.
You know, like, write it

Surprise!
Just kidding.
Okay, cheers to Claire.

I'm chanel.
Y'all love having me wait.
I'm real sorry.
You know it's always

Been out here a long time?

I got here--
well, I got here
extra earlier than I planned--

You said no traffic.
- None.
- The first time I met chanel,
she was, like, all covered up.
She had, like,
this long-sleeved shirt

And this time, she had on,
like, this white tank,

*** were all up and ***.
Like, ahh, she's the ***.
How we gonna walk like this?
We're gonna go like this.
Wait, no, see?
You're already wrong.
You gotta go, like,
over the leg.

Can--do you know
how to dance?

- You know how to move?
Okay.
You're gonna--

I'm a direct beneficiary
of the civil rights movement,

And I feel like this is
the civil rights movement

So it's important to me
to be a part of it
to draw that correlation,
to make sure that people
see that gay and lesbian rights
are just as important
as, you know, race relations
were in the '50s and '60s.
I kind of held on to chanel
throughout the entire parade,
because
Like, I always talk about
the work that I do.
But having her close by
just kind of really
gave it meaning, you know?
Like, it gave me
the emotional element.
You know, like, this is why
I'm out fighting for gay rights

I kind of want to talk to you,
but I-I need you
to promise
not to say anything to Whitney.
I can't promise you that.
What is it, first?
- So, okay, Sara and Whitney
really cuddly-cuddly.
- Uh-huh.
And I'm a little confused,
just because
When I left New York,
um, Sara was trying
to get a job at arrojo.
And hana and her--
- In New York?
Yeah, and asking me advice.
And, like
Hana was like,
"yeah, we're getting
back together, you know.
"
Hana is Sara's ex, and, um,
before I came to L.
A.
,
she would ask me if I could
get Sara a job interview.
But not to tell Whitney.
And it seemed very shady.
I got a text yet again today.
I mean, I have it all
on my phone.
I just don't know
exactly what I should do,
because I don't want to seem
to Whitney like
You know, I'm
A tattletale.
Well, why don't you?
Make it easy on yourself--
I'll tell her.
Rachel, you might not want
to say anything,
but Whitney is my best friend,
and I live with her.
And I've watched her go through
the gamut of emotions
with Sara.
And if this is real
and what you're saying
is, you know,
actually happening,
it's absolutely
my responsibility
as a friend to tell her this.
Are you *** kidding me?
Well, hana asked me,
um, about the salon.
She's like, "yo, can you
get Sara a job?"
- Mm-hmm.
And I was like, "yeah,
you know, I'll hook her up.
Like, you know,
be an assistant.
"
She's like, "oh, no,
she doesn't want to do that.
"
I was like, "well, she's
probably gonna have to do that.
"
You know what I mean?
So they had a conversation
back and forth,
and they were talking about it.
And you saw a text
- I saw the text--
- That was like--
she told hana that she wanted
to get back with her
and move to New York.
Yes, that's what they said.
That's what hana said.
I wanted her to see, you know.
So I let her read
all the text messages
between me and hana.
And also, she made me swear
not to say anything,
which I thought was weird.
It's so manipulative,
and it's so ***.
And you better ***' believe
that Sara will be knowing
that there will be nothing
*** between us
from this point on.
I was just opening my doors
up to her again.
So I feel really ***
betrayed and played.
If I can't learn from this
Red, screaming flag,
like, then I'm a *** idiot.
Somebody's shady as ***,
and somebody's lying.
And the common denominator
is always ***' Sara.
Tonight you better believe

I know what's up,

Yes, that you didn't practice.
You're so gay.
And I'm seeing, like, a whole

Like she's--like she's

- Hey, guys!
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Hi.
Mwah!
Good to see you.
- Mwah.
Ohh.
- She's right around there.
Once we lost
the donor that we knew,
we wanted to set up dinners
with a few of our guy friends.
I haven't even had a drink yet.
I know that kacy loves Olivier,
and I really love Paulo.
He's adorable.
He's Italian.
I thought you were
gonna have wine.
If he was up for it,
I wouldn't mind him
being a donor.
Uh, I actually had a question
that I wanted to ask you both.
- Here it comes.
- So--yeah.
If we asked you
To donate your ***
for us to start a family,
what would you say?
Be honest!
Be honest.
I would say no.
No?
- All right.
- No.
Because--
- Why?
I know you, and so
The thing is,
if I give you the ***,
I know that you want that baby
to be yours, you know?
AndAs we're friends,
it's gonna be hard.
We cannot talk about it,
you know.
It's not something I even
thought about doing.
I don't know.
It's not the physical,
you know,
material thing of it
that is the issue.
You know, it's just the fact
that, one, I do know you.
We are really good friends.
We're in each others' lives.
There's, like,
involvement there.
You wouldn't be able to just
detach yourself and say
No.
"I'm doing a good thing
for my good friends"?
No.
Their attachment
to their *** shocks me.
I guess the difference is,
if either one of you
needed an egg,
I would have no issue.
You would have no issue at all?
The reason why we would
do it for them
is because we love them
so much.
And the reason why
they wouldn't do it for us
is 'cause they like us.
It's so *** ridiculous!
It's just like, "I hate you.
Here's my ***.
Do with it
what you will.
"
But, "like, I love you so much,
"it would be hard for me
to watch you
raise a child I helped make.
"
They're entitled
to their feelings.
Absolutely.
We are not entitled
to their ***.
I feel very honored, though,
to even be thought about.
- Yeah, me too.
- Really.
I mean, that's a big deal.
And for someone to ask you that
is, you know--
you must think
really highly of me.
I don't know why, but
I mean, I think the thing
that bit us in the *** is that
we think that you care
very much about family
and values.
And it clearly
worked against us.
If you guys were
a little douchier
I know, it probably would work.
We just thought
it would be easier.
And now we have to
go down a different path.
I'm very tired
of talking about ***.
- Oh, my God.
- I've had my fill.
No pun intended.
Sounds like a fun night to me.
Babe
Where are you?
Right here, hon.
Hi.
- You look cute.
- I wanna change.
I forgot what you
looked like when you left.
Come
I'm tired.
Did you make my food?
Mmm.
Oh, your food.
I literally, like,
just finished.
So how was your day?
Good.
I'm just tired.
I'm currently working
at Marc Jacobs.
But don't want to be working
paycheck to paycheck
the rest of my life
every day in retail.
Baby, will you get me
my little slippers?
I went to school for makeup.
I've been doing makeup
for the last 10, 11 years.
You made yourself some food?
Thank you.
But then this last year,
I lost my job,
and I was, like, struggling,
and then I was broke.
It's been really hard.
Yeah, I'm shaky.
Why?
I didn't eat very much today.
I was just like running
around all day--I was busy.
If kelsey was to step it up
and get a full-time job,
I would know that, like,
my job wasn't the sole
Income of us,
where, as of now,
if it isn't coming from me,
we're ***.
It's a lot to have
on one person
in a relationship.
If I give you money,
will you run down
and get some alcohol?
- Uh-huh.
Because of that pressure
when I get off work,
my head doesn't turn off
unless I'm drinking.
And then we can have
like a little buzz in us
before we go.
It's gonna be crazy.
I'm gonna need a drink.
All right, what should I get?
Just get a thing of ***,
and then get, um
Some soda water.
Like the glass one?
Yeah.
Girl! All right, baby.
I'll be back.
It's a simple computation ♪
you take easy conversation ♪
add *** exploration,
adoration ♪

Tonight Claire and I

Um, it is a girls' party.

What?
It's my favorite hat.
We're having
a good time together.

a lot of flaws too, you know.
I need to learn
how to let things go.
I need to learn how to move on

on something,
then I need to drop that anger.
And I need to move forward

We're getting along.
Can you believe it?
We are,

Oh, no, no, no.
It's either really good

We get to the bar,

We talked about it.

brush it off and say,
"oh, this is allowed to happen
because I'm a drunk.

No.
You have to realize
having bipolar--
I mean, you and alcohol?
Not a good--
not a good mix.
Romi, when she was 14,
out of nowhere told me
she was suicidal.
And I had to put her
in a hospital.

they diagnosed her
with having bipolar disorder.
They said it always
had been there,

manifested itself

I'm very supportive

because I have been stuck
in that for so long,
and I am really *** myself,
and you're even harder,
and that sucks.
I'm not in love
with two different people.
Why are you trying to ***?
No, I am not trying
to ***.
Why are you trying to paint me
out to be such a bad person?
I'm not painting you out
to be any way.
This is how I feel about you!
I am bad.
I did wrong.
I did you wrong.
I'm not doing this.
I'm not doing this right now.
'Cause you look at me
and tell me
we're gonna get married
and whatever, and I believe it,
and then as soon as you
walk in the door,
you're calling up
some other chick,
telling her
that you love her too.
And that feels like ***.
Okay?
Okay?
I just feel like
such the bad guy,
and I hate that feeling.
She doesn't listen to me.
She doesn't hear me.
She--she just thinks
of all the things
that I did to her in the past.
We were each others'
first serious girlfriends.
I mean, you know?
And we made a lot of mistakes.
But it's like,
I'm not the same girl,
and she just won't let--
she will not let the past go.
So it's, like--
it's a hard thing to do,
you know?
But she was my first love,
and I haven't given up.
And it's just--it's like
I'm sad that I haven't given up,
and I'm also sad
that I haven't moved on.
I mean, that's why I'm here.
I'm not here--
like, if it didn't mean
something, I wouldn't be here.
And it's like I've tried so hard
to get over it,
and I've failed so miserably.
I can't talk about it.
