“ Last year during Halloween, my friends and I were doing each other's makeup which was super funny. My friend, who was doing my eyeliner, she did it so badly. So we have a bunch of pictures. She did it so badly… it was all over my eyes. She put goggles on me and pretended to swim.”
“ I've had to stay home for weeks and take care of things by myself… It just makes me feel so independent.”
