Ahhh I loved this!! I relate SO much to not feeling comfortable shattering other peoples' perception of me (nice, patient, people-pleasing, etc.) but it feels very much like the time to change that.... brat girl summer baby!!!

I was just thinking yesterday how we need more pieces on Charli XCX so I literally jumped out from my bed when I saw this!!! So well written and articulated. As a fellow brat, I felt totally seen and understood!

I'm so enjoying all the different takes on brat. whilst everyone loves it, it's really intriguing to see like specifically what it provokes in different people...I definitely love the idea that through being vulnerable on the record charli has shown that being human and not just cool party girl 24/7 has reminded others that it's okay to feel the same. Or that, even the 24/7 party girls are multifaceted. Really enjoyed this read!
