SARAH or MEGHAN (You're not really sure, it was loud).
You ever want to say to someone- to a guy- ‘You can’t treat
me like that, because I am magic….because I am special.’ But you can’t, you
can’t say that because you’ll sound like a fucking insane person. It goes
beyond being immodest you’ll sound like a nut job. And why? You know, why can’t
we say that we’re special and we deserve that back? I mean everyone’s special
relatively right? Actually no that’s wrong everyone isn’t… that girl over there...not special. But we deserve like
the same level of specialness…speciality. Magic-ness. I don’t know, it’s the
wine. I’m saying this cuz of the wine. And like that, like I’d feel stupid
saying this without the wine. So, thank you wine.
But yeah, no, we can’t like call people out on their shit,
because that like makes us weak. That means like we’re sensitive when really
we’re just like sensitive to people being assholes. No we have to pretend that we’re okay, that
we don’t care, that we’re okay with these random texts of "Hey how r u?”
How am I? “I’m confused as to why you
can text me yet not see me like a human. I'm confused as to what you're getting from this. I’m confused as to why I’m even
responding, I’m generally just confused.
How am I? Confused. I am confused that is how I am.” Like my grandmother
didn’t get random phone calls of ‘Hey what’s up’ and then a hang up. Like you had to have like an actual
conversation, like you had to be human, like you had to connect or at least
pretend to connect. You didn’t like waste your time.
(She
touches both your shoulders, pulls you closer)
You, you are MAGIC, and I’m just gonna be like some girl you
met saying it. And you can like write it off like those crazy people on the
subway who spout prophetic things after insanity. But you ARE. So YOU are NOT going to SETTLE. You have
these eyes, these eyes and they see stuff, they see too much, and it’s like
hard you know, to like float. Like this, this right now for you this, this
party, this bar, this is hard because you see all the bull shit. I like just
met you but I can see that you see the bull shit. You you are MAGIC so don’t
you dim that for anyone. Don’t you float on the surface, and if you have to
leave shit like this early you leave… you leave. But just like trust it, okay? Cause you like
listen, beyond your eyes and ears you listen. And it hurts to hear and see so
much, but you hold out. Okay? You hold out for that person, where you're like 'Yeah that's it', and you'll like know cause like you'll be nervous in a good way. And in the meantime when
those guys ask you how you are “How r u?” like 1:00 AM you say “I’m fucking magic”.
