‘i’m not like them.’
soft angst starters 「 currently accepting / @kangdyln 」
she would be the judge of that.
maybe the childhood trauma was to blame, or the fact that she spent nearly half of her life involved in an industry that left her feeling automatically jaded when it came to the intentions of others. time after time again, harlowe learned the lesson that most people were self-serving and sketchy as hell at best, and the automatic suspicion of anyone that wasn’t within her immediate circle of associates was practically hardwired into her at this point. if she wasn’t comfortable, she wasn’t going to talk. and if there wasn’t anything important for her to say (why would there be, anyway? thank you for that one, childhood bullying), her other option was to simply observe. either she would be right in her initial reservations, or she would be pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
but maybe dylan did have a point. none of his actions so far sounded off alarms in her head, but she still didn’t have it in her to completely let her guard down. “yeah? give me your hand, then.”

“wow, you didn’t exaggerate.”
gilmore girls sentence starters 「 currently accepting / @fromggi 」
harlowe’s eyes narrowed, shooting an icy glare to the brunette as if to silently say ‘how dare you doubt my authenticity’. exaggeration was never a strongsuit of hers-- in fact, she often struggled with being too literal, both in her own words and interpreting others. with the phone placed neatly between the two of them, the rapper continued to slowly scroll through the inbox, lingering over each message just long enough for gia to briefly scan the preview of their contents. there were many things about this public career that she hated, but the need for technology and social media usage was definitely one of the top things. the last few years were horrible for her health and sanity, but the one silver lining compared to now was not having to worry about uploading vapid photos just to keep fans engaged. likes and comments were one thing, but the constant barrage of messages? bane of her fucking existence. “i think that i’m just going to throw my phone into a river. it would solve maybe a good thirty percent of my life problems.”

“I’m so proud of you, you know that?”
soft sentence starters 「 currently accepting / @fromggi 」
like always, she struggled to find a way to respond.
it was practically wired in her genetics to not be able to take a compliment. her simple upbringings came with a heavy dose of humbleness, and years of struggles left her with an even heavier dose of cynicism, where all niceties were immediately interpreted as the start of a plot against her. on top of it all, after everything that she’d been through and all that she worked to overcome, she still didn’t feel like she was deserving of such words. the easy sailing now was just the calm before the storm, a series of storms lasting for eight fucking years with seemingly no end in sight. don’t get too comfortable. it’ll all come crashing down again.
“yeah.” harlowe stared off, eyes focused past gia to the wall behind her, before darting down to her own lap. she didn’t want to focus on this, she never did. after the inner gears in her mind put in the work, she found the older woman’s words to be well-meaning (as they generally were), but she still found it easier to divert than to just take the compliment. suddenly, the details of her nail art were oh so interesting, and more of her attention was focused there. anything to stop the feeling of the studio walls slowly suffocating her. “was there anything else that you wanted to work on while i’m here?”

once a lady told me that if my plants are dying even when I’m caring for them correctly, it means they’re absorbing the curses my enemies are casting upon me. so now when my plants randomly die, I wonder if they died protecting me.

“my grandparents embraced a bare bones living.” she simply shrugged in response, not particularly surprised by the reaction she received, or the fact that the object in front of her was one that she’d only seen before in old school movies. by no means were her grandparents in poverty, and to call them technology-phobic wasn’t accurate either. they made sure they provided the necessities, and never really bothered with much else: a wall telephone and a pen and some paper kept them in contact with loved ones, and there was a radio and the entire world outside their home to keep them entertained. “i mean-- i never even saw a flat screen television until i moved to seoul. or a laptop.”
the names sounded familiar to harlowe, but only as far as them being notable musicians. beyond that, she had little idea who they were or what their music sounded like, and while she was generally uninterested in anything related to american pop culture, her curiosity was somewhat piqued. “over a year,” she mumbled, the neutral expression on her face turning down into a faint frown. “i don’t really do that anymore.”
“ can’t believe you’ve never seen one of these before– “ she said gesturing to her 1958 jukebox that sat in the pristine opulence of her living room. some could say she was living well off, and it was true? she was… after her settlement in court with the remainder of cr*ep and their management team, she retained the rights to monetization of all body of works that were in part creatively licensed by her, including most of their styling concepts and music. not to mention her own music as well, and keeping her stage name the same. It had been a rough battle but she had fought more for the principle of it all than just the money… music she had created should belong to her name at least in part, or it didn’t’ deserve to exist. Now that she was financially stable she found herself often buying things out of nostalgia, something her friends would criticize her for… but come on.. the jukebox was just COOL. “Look all the classics ! Johnny Cash… Frank Sinatra… Elvis…” She ran her finger over the lit up jukebox glass with a happy and childlike smile on her face before whipping her white hair out of her face to look at her friend. “ Cmon, when was the last time you danced?
