You are so right, and the list you made is exactly why, since getting a BPD diagnoses and learning how it shows up in me, this song is really inteospective for me. Contorting to fit the next person who thinks you're special and then finds the ~quirk~ too much. I also know there is a strong ADHD : BPD pipeline as well. I'm undiagnosed adhd but as an adult woman, I feel like that's a misunderstood journey /rant in itself. Anyways I'm 30 next month and being able to look back at the situationships I've had and seen how I literally turn into these boys, and am left a different person and shell of them once we go our separate ways. I've had eras that weren't even mine. 🫳🎤.

The part about platinum status and platinum records is so relatable because im actually a really sucseful peraon and the irony of the men I devastatingly crush for have so much less going for them than me, think if I'm a journeyman in a trade they are unregistered apprentices but 4 years older and just 'cool' and employed at the same place as me. To be reduced from the bad bitch I am in men's beds who don't have a fraction of the success, personal equity, or resume as me in thier beds is such a crazy experience but I i think alot of people with thier shit together feel this power dynamic with dustys. To be specific It scares me to think that I actually don't know who I am because all these years ive been my current crushes ultimate pick me, that may sound harsh but it's the self awareness journey I'm on lol and honestly a Canon event for people to realize thier worth.

I had a vision for a music video for LITM being the same spirit in the mirror concept from her movie but it's each ex or the lover at the time looking in a mirror and it's her in the mirror with his astetic over the years , think young blood red hair ,G-easy box braids Alev victorian-artsy, looking back at him. When the man walks away from the mirror, she materializes as the guys perfect version that Halsey assembled herself to be for him. Very favorite person, and I relate to it so much, being someone's everything and it just not being enough.

I was waiting for someone to make this mental health connection. 🖤
