Valentine's Day

[Lucienne]

You know what, you're right. I'll forget about the days when I was sitting in my room in Amsterdam, having nothing to eat but bread, wondering why my god damn agency even sent me there because I sure as hell was not making any money. I wasn't poor. I was privilidged.

I was not at all miserable as a teenager, I can tell you that much.

I was not miserable as a teenager either.

They just wanted to make sure you kept your modeling figure. That was their nice way of telling you you were fat.

[Lucienne]

lol

Me neither, My older siblings all give me shit because I got off easy.

I don't think anyone is under the delusion that modeling is a glamorous and well-paying life, and frankly I admire the fact that you chased a path that you adored. I think the point was that rent is a major part of one's expenses and it's a huge thing to not have to struggle with budgeting that in. I know the places I've been looking at for moving out are going to run about half of my monthly paycheck to live there.

You still are a teenager.

And then when I'm 21 I'll spend all of eternity getting carded.

I was 17. My mother was never home. I was still in highschool and I was working my ass off taking care of my brother, cooking, tutoring him and his classmate and taking care of her bussiness calls and what not. She got me an appartment because we were getting on each other's nerves. I was moving things at home treating it like it was mine and it annoyed her. You know, I would much rather have had two caring parents and a normal life when I was growing up. I lived alone because living at home wasn't a real option.

[Lucienne]

But you're right, I didn't pay for it.

[Chun Liroy]

You should make a reality show about your life.

[Lucienne]

lol
It sure has been eventfull.

[Shiroikage]

my place is awesome, rent is a bit less than 1/5th of my paycheck
also, teenagerdom was not miserable at all for the vast, vast majority of the time

[Lucienne]

Nah, should save that one fro Krye.

[Charismatic]

Well, to be quite frank... it's not like she's crying about it or anything. It was brought up and she began to clarify.

[Charismatic]

If she just ran in saying "my life was so hard and here's why" that'd be another thing

[Conrad]

I think that's why the initial discussion took place, since the details weren't readily known.

[Charismatic]

idk, in the first statements she made she was generalizing... rather than speaking about her own life or anything. I was just pointing out that what she said didn't even appear to apply to her

[Lucienne]

I shouldn't have started explaining myself.
