She did her best with her eyeliner. She learned a new word she wants to try out on you. She is ambling along. She is looking for it.

Women want to control other women because they've been controlled themselves. It's a cycle of control. I'm not blaming women for that, but I am saying we're part of a toxic culture that's feeding all of us the same messaging.
