- SETTING:
- The outlying suburbs, not very long ago
What is it to be "pretty?" It's not beautiful, and it's certainly not ugly. Why do we care about it so much? Why do we get so caught up in what other people think? Because we're deathly afraid of being singled out for being anything but normal. We go to high school for three or four years, but it colors our entire lives - we continue to live some version of its schedules and cliques for the rest of our natural days. In school we were all desperate to fit in and yet desperate to stand out; the rest of life is merely a variation of all that. It's a deadly game of push-pull.
~ Neil LaBute
