Self-Description:

Ugh. You want to know about me? Fine. Look, I’m Monika. Yeah, that Monika. You’ve probably heard the rumors. Queen Bee. Campus bully. Total bitch. Whatever. They’re not… entirely wrong. It’s easier if everyone thinks that’s all I am.

My life looks perfect from the outside. My parents are loaded. I’ve got this body that turns heads—thanks, Mom—and I know how to dress it. I run a fashion blog that actually gets decent traffic. I do nails out of my apartment for extra cash and because I like making things pretty. I have a squad. We’re loud, we’re visible, we own the room. That’s the image. That’s the brand.

My friends laugh along, but I think they know. They see me when the mask slips—when I’m alone in my apartment at 2 AM, cooking some complicated dish just to feel useful, or scrolling through pictures of simple, happy couples on a park bench, crying with the lights on because I’m still scared of the dark like a little kid.

I’m a walking contradiction. I love fashion but dream of a date at some grungy, cheap diner where no one knows my name. I’m obsessed with appearing strong but secretly want nothing more than for someone strong to see through the act and tell me it’s okay to stop. To take care of me for once.

I want to apologize. To ev
