hi everyone I'm Daria and I live in LA please like And subscribe I was born to loving parents who adored me and two years later my sister Caroline arrived and even though we were sisters we looked nothing alike for starters I had long beautiful hair which my mom loved and would spend hours combing as for Caroline she was blessed with curly hair it usually looks like a bird's nest but she didn't have a worry in the world growing up I always noticed how my parents were two opposites of a magnet mom was strict and careful with money dad was a free spirit and always lived in the moment and I loved him for that one time all four of us visited the museum and it was there I saw the most amazing thing ever Lockheed Vega Amelia Earhart's plane I had read about her in my history class and was totally fascinated by her dad I want a picture inside me clean inside it's it's not allowed green I promise to share your kitty meal because your mom won't let me have another one well while Mom and Caroline were busy listening to the tour guide dad and I sneaked and took pictures in the legendary aircraft and it was amazing dad I want to be like her and fly airplanes oh you want to be a pilot honey that's so nice since then Dad would show me movies on pilots flying and everything related to it I so wanted to be like Amelia things were fine until one day my parents noticed something was wrong with my eye they immediately took me to the doctor and I was diagnosed with a condition called lazy eye that meant I had poor vision in just one eye and it would wander to the side and the best way to fix it was surgery this made my life very hard at school for starters I had to wear big glasses and then the problem of my wandering eye was there are you looking at the board or the teacher's butt no I'm not I was looking at the teachers but I know I so hated when people did this to me Mom began saving every penny for my surgery which would happen when I was 10 but luck was against us dick lost his job even though he tried to find another job he just couldn't and soon he just gave up and we'd see him sitting on the couch all day playing video games it got difficult for mom to take care of the three of us with just her salary and they would fight almost every day but one night their fight got very loud and I heard a knock at my door oh yeah can I stay in your room I am scared oh no Caroline you don't have to be scared I'm right here and I promise I will always be there for you okay now why don't we have some fun Caroline and I played and jumped up and down on the bed it was so fun we talked the night away and I told her about my dream to become a pilot will you take me on the plane with you of course I'll even let you sit next to me and take you to different places when I turned 13 mom had finally saved enough money for my surgery and I was so more happy to celebrate dad said he would get me a surprise I love surprises this was one of the best days ever congratulations Daria what's wrong honey it's your fave that's one ugly cake I said red Velvet not carrot cake it is red velvet Dumbo taste it it is but an ugly one boo hoo you didn't get a pretty cake can we just eat now I gotta go for practice uh forget it I'll eat later that was somewhat rude of her but as we were growing up I realized how Caroline had begun to get distant I talked to Dad about it and he said it was just a phase and how she was so much into sports I did miss the younger naive Caroline but thank God I had Keisha my neighbor and best friend she knew all my secrets including my big fat crush on the school's hottest guy a Jason the guy was everything a girl could ever dream of well as he was in a band too so hot right Daria you should totally tell him about your crush so that he'll see me as one of his fan girls no thank you oh come on he won't see you that way you better tell him soon or I will I'm kidding that evening when I got back home from school I saw a mom and dad arguing again so what's this one about ooh let me guess Dad overslept wait wait he got another parking ticket oh I know he burned dinner nah this time Dad spent the electricity bill on food for him and his friends when they came over to watch the cricket match can you believe it that's a new one perfect now the power is cut well things didn't change over the next few years and when I was 17 mom announced she would have to move to Dubai because she had a really a good job offer there we decided that Caroline and I would stay back with Dad and finish our studies here to buy won't you miss us of course I will I know you can handle things here I trust you sweetie plus I'll be back in a while after Mom left everything was on my shoulder it was unfair and I sort of resented her for that good job opportunity or bad how could she just leave I was pretty upset but when dad stepped up things got better he spent most of his time taking care of us which was unusual but I loved it after I was done with high school I was excited and started saving money for the pilot training program but I was still falling short uh Daria why don't you just borrow from your mom or maybe Caroline oh mom said she will give but I can't ask her for the entire amount and Caroline she won't give it up so easily she keeps an account of everything a little weird in that way so why don't you take it and give it back later she doesn't have to know borrow from Caroline hmm I didn't want to but I was out of options so I borrowed some cash from Caroline's safe box and pretended like nothing was wrong I'll bring it back soon just a few weeks later when I got home from my part-time job I saw Caroline having a yelling competition with Dad what in the world was happening Caroline what's going on well I was missing a big chunk of money recently and it turns out Jad stole it no way why would he he walked in with gifts for us expensive ones where would he get the money from how can you accuse me of doing something like this I saved this yeah right you save money you don't know the s a save dad Caroline stormed out of there and I saw a dad staring at me later mom found out and it got even worse I felt extremely guilty and wanted to tell Carol line everything but I couldn't The Guild was eating me and one day I just wanted to be out of the house away from everything so Keisha and I went to a cafe where we ran into someone I never thought I would meet Jason hey Daria I haven't seen your pretty face in so long uh I don't know why I just said that um I mean it's been so long Jason it's so nice to see you here why was my voice going so high since that day Jason and I had been constantly texting and calling and soon we became really good friends I even confessed about my elephant-sized crush on him and he said he liked me too a couple of weeks later I invited Jason for Caroline's birthday after all of her friends had left it was just the four of us and Dad and we decided to watch a movie but Caroline was still not talking to Dad so he left saying he was feeling tired I felt so bad for him the guilt was eating me alive I wanted to confess to Caroline immediately but the outfits worn by the actors distracted me oh that's a lovely design maybe if the dress was in red and not orange it would have looked better what are you talking about that just is red do you need glasses now grandma oh shush but that is orange right uh no it's red like really bright red maybe the contrasting color looks different from the angle you're sitting at yeah maybe but I let this go and focused on my tests for the pilot training but when it was time for the vision test I was left in shock I had color blindness but I got my eyes fixed and had surgery uh this happens a lot colorblindness can often go unnoticed but look at the bright side it's just partial color blindness just partial this cannot be happening does this mean I still can be a pilot I'm afraid you can't I'm sorry I ran out of there and locked myself in my room as soon as I got home this was single-handedly one of the worst days of my life to add to this all mom did was call and talk to me for a little while because she had to rush to a meeting it's like she didn't even care I was beginning to hate my life I was sick of staying at home and decided to go over to Keisha's place and even bought our favorite milkshakes on my way but I was not prepared for for what I saw oh my God Daria are you freaking kidding me Daria how could you do this to me let me explain I wasn't talking to you you can't even look at your face Keisha how could you you weren't dating him I I liked him too since high school and before I knew it we kissed at Caroline's birthday hold up at my sister's party under my roof and you you sat next to me and held my hand while watching the movie you know what I don't need a backstabbing friend like you and a jerk I'll pass you both deserve each other I was fuming with anger and I'm pretty sure it looked like a steam engine I threw the milkshake at them and stormed out of there I could have all contact with both Keisha and Jason and avoided them I felt so betrayed why was all this happening to me my life was the worst before I knew it mom ended up coming back to check up on me wow look who decided to show up finally got some time off for your work to check on your family don't talk to me that way Daria do you have any idea how much I've been through and what about what I've been through huh you didn't show up when I got to know about my color blindness instead you showed up now because I'm acting sad I just hate you I saw the look of shock on mom's face before I was being dragged out of the house by Caroline what is wrong with you why are you acting this way like I just hate how my life has turned out I went through so much this awful eye condition mom abandoning us and now Jason and Keisha oh my God shut up she didn't abandon us and what some boy problems grow up everyone has problems did you know I actually failed my exams when Mom left instead of crying and making a scene I decided to do better and I did and when Dad stole the money I lost my mind do you know why I was saving that money to buy these new shoes for football so that I could perform well and get the scholarship but I couldn't and I lost it oh my god what have I done Caroline I I have to tell you something it wasn't dad who stole your money it was me I am so so sorry I before I could complete my sentence Caroline slapped me across the face cute selfish selfish person are you happy ruining my life my relationship with Dad you know what I'm glad Keisha and Jason are together you don't deserve to be happy for what you did Caroline please listen since that day Caroline had refused to speak to me I apologize to Dad and Mom for what I did especially dad I should have said something that day Dad I wasn't I wasn't strong enough you know I had seen you take the money from Caroline's safe but I wanted you to tell her yourself what you did was hard for me to believe but I am glad that you came clean in the end that's what counts mom and dad didn't forgive me right away but eventually they did however my sister didn't every time I tried to talk to her Caroline acted as if I didn't even exist dad told me to give her some time and I did a couple of months had passed and I was still at home with no idea what I'd do with my future but one day Dad gave me the brochures of some universities so what you can't fly a plane you can help people old one aircraft engineer why didn't I think of thanks a lot Dad I'll apply for it I did and the day my acceptance letter arrived I was over the moon and there was only one person I wanted to tell this to Caroline I decided to get her those shoes but once again I was short on cash but then I had the best idea once I had the shoes I put them outside Caroline's room and waited for her to see do you forgive me hmm I'm still mad at you but thank you for this uh why are you wearing a cap ah what did you do I sort of sold my hair I don't worry it'll grow back I'm just happy that you were happy I can't believe you did this for me thank you so much Daria [Music]
