On the very first night that we met, we walked by a bakery that was having their sugar delivered. And it was in the air, everywhere. A sugar storm. And before he kissed me… He leaned in… And did this. And guess what? He did the exact same thing with her.

It was exciting to see her grow and both of us grow and change together. But that’s also the hard part: growing without growing apart or changing without it scaring the other person. I still find myself having conversations with her in my mind.

“When teenagers complain that they want to be treated like human beings, it’s usually because they are being treated like human beings.” – Heathers (1989)

The thing about the ‘tradition’ in the nineteenth century was that it worked then. It made a woman feel important, with her own secure positions and functions, her own special worth. It also made a woman at that time one with her society. But today it is an anachronism. So Blanche requires protection – a haven, a harbor. She is a refugee, punch drunk and on the ropes, making her last stand, trying to keep up a gallant front, because she is a proud person. But still- she’s also a misfit, a liar, her ‘airs’ alienate people…She doesn’t know how to make a living. She doesn’t know to work…She’s a last dying relic of the last century now adrift in our unfriendly day.” -Eliza Kazan on the character of Blanche DuBois.
