Everyone has ghosts. I think we all need to learn that there's no shame in letting them out.

Humans are delicate, too. The teeniest mistake can ruin them, even if you do everything else right. Just because mistakes seem small and insignificant, doesnβt mean they are.

Jimmy Prickle said itβs because I blend in so well with the dark. Thatβs called racism. I wanted to tell him he is a waste of precious space on Earth, but I didnβt. Jimmy Prickle also called me a weirdo and said Iβm wasting precious film. Thatβs called making good choices. I do that sometimes.

life is a precious thing, dearie. It has skin that can feel. And feet that can dance. And hearts that can love and be loved. And you are loved, sweetheart. You are so good at seeing the world. Can you please keep letting the world see you?

The image on the film or print has been exposed to light but not developed yet. It's there, but you can't see it. like a ghost image. it's like... the darkness is hiding. All it takes is light and chemicals and patience to make it appear. Humans have hidden darkness, too, like secrets and sadness. But you cant just stick a person in developer fluid, can you?

It's hard...coming to a place every day where people judge you and ignore you and hurt you. And dances make all of that worse. You get judged not only for who you are, but also your dress and your hair and what random person you got to be your date. And it's not right or fair.

But life is a sort of stage, right? Didn't Shakespeare say something like that? The characters, the lights--some do shine brighter than others. Like, some literally sparkle, almost to a fault. Some light up spaces you never knew were important, challenging you to see new perspectives. Some are duller, some may flicker, and they all can, at some point, cast creepy shadows. And some, like a flame, won't last forever. But they're all there, ideally, to play their part--however big or small--at eliminating the darkness.
