"The Zit"

24 October 2026: It's so strange to rewatch My So-Called Life at age 49, with both of my parents gone...

I rewatched "The Zit" this evening and moved all over again--though in ways that hit differently than in 1994. 

Anyway, here's Angela's closing monologue: "Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison. And the crime is how much we hate ourselves. It's good to get really dressed up once in a while. And admit the truth. That when you really looked closely, people are so strange, and so complicated, that they're actually... beautiful. Possibly even me."
