a/n: this isn't my own piece, it's a dialogue excerpt taken from the movie lost in translation (2003), and has been used in a few songs, including rock + roll by eden, and chemistry by lund. (at least as far as i'm concerned.)

the first time i heard it, i felt such a connection to every word—it was almost as if the whole dialogue was describing me.
(tl;dr: this is my favorite movie quote.)

"The more you know who you are and what you want..."

"...the less you let things upset you."

"I just don't know who I'm supposed to be."

"I tried being a writer but I hate what I write."

"And I tried taking pictures but they were so..."

"...mediocre."

"You know, and every girl goes through a photography phase."

"You know, like horses..."

"...and taking dumb pictures of your feet."

"You'll figure that out—"

"I'm not worried about you."
