Ghost world and finding your self

2001 Ghost World is one of my favourite movies and I thought it would be rather fitting for my first post. It follows Enid and Rebecca during the summer after they graduate from high school and try to figure out what's next.

When I first watched Ghost World I was a much simpler and to some extent lesser version of myself. Just like Enid a young girl who has just embarked on the next stage of her life and is looking to find herself amongst all the pressures and changes going on around her I too was a young girl looking to find herself facing pressures and challenges.

After I watched it for the first time I began to idolise Enid as the perfect example of what wanted to be cynical, witty, and most importantly unapologetically herself. I was less inspired by her and more wanted to become her obsessively watching the movie over and over studying her, the way she dressed her actions, her humour, and her personality. Why be myself when I could be somebody else?

But Anyone who has seen the movie knows that Enid is not someone to be idolised, she is a flawed, irritable, and quite frankly unlikeable person She can't commit to a plan for her future she gets, jealous easily and she disregards the people that care for her.

After watching the movie and reading the comic over and over I came to realise this fact. But what I also realised is that although Enid was flawed it didn't stop being herself and I think that is something that can be admired. When trying to figure out who you are you often feel the need to become a whole new person and dispose of all your old characteristics. What Enid taught me is that that is simply not going to help me to truly be myself, to find yourself you have to speak your mind and make mistakes. I am my flawed characteristics, they are what make me, me.

And here's another song-in-progress for your listening pleasure. It has all the hallmarks of an Elektra Flowers composition:

rhyming "soul/control"

rhyming "pain/insane/tom verlaine"

extremely TIMELESS pop culture references (a nice way of saying "dated")

insane rhythm section (thank you computer)

referencing artists who probably hate(d) ai (luv ya x)

upbeat but written about some sad shit (in this case, a best friend breakup)

lyrics below. enjoy!

I hate you completely, and I miss you still

Think I always loved you, think I always will

When we were together, two of a kind

We had a bond I never could find

And I can't get you off my mind, this time...

Living in a ghost world

When I think about it I still feel the pain

Living in a ghost world

You're my Enid and you drove me half insane...

Siamese twin kids, joined at the soul

Closer and deeper than we could control

When it was severed, felt like I died

Sometimes that pain twists me up inside

And I can't get you off my mind, this time...

Living in a ghost world

When I think about it I still feel the pain

Living in a ghost world

You're my Richard Hell and I'm your Tom Verlaine...

Now when I see you, awkward as hell

I can't believe we put each other through hell

But Lord it was heaven when it was real

At least I remember, at least I can feel

And I can't get you off my mind this time...

Living in a ghost world

Seeing specters in a song

Living in a ghost world

You're my Enid, and you're gone...
