i am what alaska young would’ve been.
i don’t know why such an underdeveloped character created by a man had such an impact on so many teenage girls including myself. i think it’s because we saw something in her, that not even the writer saw. she was so full of life. she had a whole future ahead of her. i now think of her when i smoke a cigarette. i think of her when i wear blue nail polish. i think of her when i see cheap wine. i think of her when i put down my books on the floor. i think of her when i read all the books shes read. and all the books that she couldn’t. i think of her everyday.
