I Think I Was A

I Have Traveled To A Lot Of Places, And You Look At Another Young Person Who Lives Under Very Different Circumstances Than You But Has The Same Dreams Or The Same Interests Or Might Be Better At What I Do Than What I Do. But I Was Born In A Different Place, And She Was Born In A Different Place. Just For That Alone, You're Kind Of Inherently Given Opportunity. That's Something That I'm Very Grateful For, But I'm Also Very Aware Of.

I Was Being Groomed To Be A Tennis Player For Sure. My Grandparents And Parents Realised I Had A Natural Athletic Ability And If I Was Forced To Do It, I Could Probably Do Well. But All I Wanted Was To Play Pretend.

I Don't Really Date. I Have A Weird Vision Of Relationships Because My Parents Have Known Each Other Since Second Grade, And They Got Married Right Out Of College. I've Always Thought That's What It's Supposed To Be Like, And If It's Not, Then I Don't Want To Waste My Time On It. Even When I Was 14, I Was Like, 'i'm Not Gonna Marry This Person. What's The Point Of Doing It?' It's Not Me Being Naive. I Just Know What It's Supposed To Be Like, And I Think Until I Feel That, I Cannot Be Bothered.

You Know In Cartoons, The Way Someone Can Run Off A Cliff And They're Fine, They Don't Fall Down Until They Look Down? My Mom Always Said That Was The Secret Of Life. Never Look Down. But It's More Than That. It's Not Just About Looking. It's About Never Realizing That You're In The Middle Of The Air And You Don't Know How To Fly.

I Remember When I Was Very Little My Idol Was Britney Spears. I Had Just Come To California And That's Just Who I Wanted To Meet. So I Was In A Store And She Walked In And My Jaw Just Fell To The Floor. I Started Like Sweating. I Could Not Believe That I Was Meeting Her. She Told Me That I Was Very Cute. And I Lost It — I Was So Excited.
