oh- i KNOW! It's so, gorgeous! You can walk around- and bump into your, 30 year old- dream girl! When you listen to this song! YES! And, you can also, wonder around, to this, music. It's a, blaSt! Hello, it’s, ME!, Brittney Lee Hill Collier (Age: 33. Born March, the 12th, 1988.). My Destiny, is to be, a famous, British actress, and a Royal, for the, United Kingdom. To date, I figured out that, Henry Cavill (Age: 38. He is the famous, British actor, who plays, Superman. He played, Superman, in, “Man of Steel,” which came out in the year, 2013), Tom Ellis (Age: 42. He is the famous, British actor, who plays, Lucifer, on the American, television show, “Lucifer.”), Russell Brand (Age: 46. He is the famous, Comedian, and British actor, who married, Katy Perry), Johnathan Rhys Meyers (Age: 43. He is the famous, Swedish actor, famous for starring, on the show, “The Tudors.” He is also, very famous, for starring, in the movie, “Match Point.”), Louis Garrel (Age: 39. He is the famous, French actor, exalted, for starring, in the movie, “Ma Mere.” He is also, very famous, for starring, in the movie, “The Dreamers.”), and Gene Kelly (Deceased: February, 2, 1996. He, is, the, famous, Hollywood American, actor- famous, for the movie, “Singin’ in the Rain,” and, “An American in Paris.” Gene- died, too soon- for us to be- Husband, and Wife. Gene- reincarnated, and is, currently, on his, next life :D - he is a, child, right now- at the, White Top, and he is, Gene Kelly- all over, again! For the time being, let’s call him- Gene Kelly, again- even though, currently, he may have a different name.), are supposed to be my, Husbands. That means, all 7 of us, have it in our, Destiny, to be the, Kings, and Queen, of the, United Kingdom. Gosh, I’ve been trying to figure out, which famous, White actor, was my Husband (or, Husbands), since the year, 2011, or so. :D HAHAHA! So now, I’ll be traveling, back, to the, United Kingdom, from Fullerton, C.A. (Fullerton, C.A., is in the, Country, of, the United States, within the, County, of, Orange.). My, Son, Reign Aston Disick, who is, 6 years old, and born in the year, 2014 (he is popular for the show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. He was, Scott Disick, and Kourtney Kardashians, Son.), will be joining us, in the, United Kingdom, as well. I went to the, United Kingdom, in 2020, during the, Global Pandemic. FACT (I’ve known the, Global Pandemic, was fake, since, it began. FACT). Now that I, know, who my, Husbands- are, I can travel, back, to the, United Kingdom- for a final time- and meet, and Marry them. I will be, meeting them, in the Borough of, Essex. YAY, for me :D ! I have, 6, Hot Husbands. I’m so excited! They are, super sexy: beautiful, fun, wild party guys, intense, confident, cocky, and genius, Celebrity. I am lucky. I know (already), that they will, value, Monarchy, and Tradition, just as much as, I do, by the time I finally meet them, in person. They better

@Aaron Morgan true for most of her career but then her NFR release created a huge following

“will you let me make the sun my own for now, and the ocean my son? can I raise your mountains? I promise to keep them greener, make them my daughters, Teach them about fire, warn them about water.”

I left my city for San Francisco Took a free ride off a billionaire's jet LA, I'm from nowhere, who am I to love you? LA, I've got nothing, who am I to love you when I'm feeling this way and I've got nothing to offer? LA, not quite the city that never sleeps Not quite the city that wakes, but the city that dreams, for sure If by dreams, you mean in nightmares LA, I'm a dreamer, but I'm from nowhere, who am I to dream? LA, I'm upset, I have complaints, listen to me They say I came from money and I didn't And I didn't even have love, and it's unfair LA, I sold my life rights for a big check and I'm upset And now I can't sleep at night and I don't know why Plus, I love Zach, so why did I do that when I know it won't last? LA, I picked San Francisco because the man who doesn't love me lives there LA, I'm pathetic, but so are you, can I come home now? Daughter to no one, table for one Party of thousands of people I don't know at Delilah where my ex-husband works I'm sick of this, but can I come home now? Mother to no one, private jet for one Back home to the Tudor house that borned a thousand murder plots Hancock Park, it's treated me very badly, I'm resentful The witch on the corner, the neighbor nobody wanted The reason for Garcetti's extra security LA, I know I'm bad, but I have nowhere else to go, can I come home now? I never had a mother, will you let me make the sun my own for now, and the ocean my son? I'm quite good at tending to things despite my upbringing, can I raise your mountains? I promise to keep them greener, make them my daughters Teach them about fire, warn them about water I'm lonely, LA, can I come home now? I left my city for San Francisco And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge But it's not going as I planned I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter And promised myself that I would stay, but It's just not going the way that I thought It's not that I feel different, and I don't mind that it's not hot It's just that I belong to no one, which means there's only one place for me The city not quite awake, the city not quite asleep The city that's still deciding how good it can be And also I can't sleep without you No one's ever really held me like you Not quite tightly, but certainly, I feel your body next to me Smoking next to me Vaping lightly next to me And I love that you love the neon lights like me Orange in the distance We both love that And I love that we have that in common Also, neither one of us can go back to New York For you are unmoving As for me, it won't be my city again until I'm dead Fuck the New York Post LA, who am I to need you when I've needed so much, asked for so much? And what I've been given, I'm not sure yet I may never know that either until I'm dead For now, though, what I do know Is although I don't deserve you Not you at your best and your splendor With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion Not you at your worst Totally on fire, unlivable, unbreathable, I need you You see, I have no mother And you do A continental shelf A larger piece of land from where you came And I? I'm an orphan A little seashell that rests upon your native shores One of many, for sure But because of that, I surely must love you closely to the most of anyone For that reason, let me love you Don't mind my desperation Let me hold you, not just for vacation But for real and for forever Make it real life Let me be a real wife to you Girlfriend, lover, mother, friend I adore you Don't be put off by my quick-wordedness I'm generally quite quiet Quite a meditator, actually I'll do very well down by Paramhansa Yogananda's realization center, I'm sure I promise you'll barely even notice me Unless you want to notice me Unless you prefer a rambunctious child In which case, I can turn it on too I'm quite good on the stage as you may know You might have heard of me So either way, I'll fit in just fine So just love me by doing nothing And perhaps, by not shaking the county line I'm yours if you'll have me But regardless, you're mine

This poem hits me close. I am from Southern California, just an hour north of Los Angeles and 45 minutes south of Santa Barbara, yet I feel like I don’t belong anywhere here. California will always be home, just not one I belong to. I have travelled a lot throughout the state, yet have only felt attracted to certain cities and towns only at times. I feel a lust for other place and know deep down that they might be the cities for me. LA, I love you but you aren’t for me. SF, I love you too but not forever. California, I love you but I don’t belong to you.

had my movie moment getting kicked out losing my best friend and my other friends at 16 last summer i never felt more lost , i didn’t even know who i was looking in the mirror made me angry , i went straight to la and met strangers that made me feel like i belonged and helped me find myself and had this playing in my headphones when i left the city

Lana's poetry is beautiful, she has embodied so many stories of being a woman in the modern world.

They said I came from money when I didn’t. Exactly, people keep saying Lana was rich and moved to a trailer park to pretend she came from humble beginnings when in fact she always struggled in her early career days, had to take side jobs and thought of giving up her dreams to reality. But Lana burned her the bridges to pursuit her dreams, she will always be an untouchable icon.

I’m not super into poetry but I love this

I lived in Los angeles with my young single mom after she divorced my dad in the midwest & we lived off of Venice beach we could barely afford food let alone day care so she would lock me in the janitors closet during her shifts & I would color in the dark we ended up coming back to the midwest but there is something about LA- none if it mattered because there were palm trees in my backyard it felt more like home than anywhere LA who am I to love you :,(

The very first time I read this poem I was in love with a man who lived in San Francisco but he didn't love me back. 💔

A little seashell that rests upon your native shores One of many, for sure But because of that, I surely must love you closely to the most of anyone For that reason, let me love you Don't mind my desperation Let me hold you, not just for vacation But for real and for forever My absolute favourite part, combined with the piano, is just amazing.
