When I first heard this album, I was 8 years old. Just 8. Immediately fell in love with it. I kissed a Girl was a song that introduced me to the fact that girls could kiss girls and boys could kiss boys. Hot n cold was fun because it used opposite words and I was learning...

...opposite words at school. Thinking of you made bawl my eyes out! And one of the boys was literally piece of my heart. And ur so gay was (my favorite song from that album tbh) and then there were other emo songs! Man my 8 y/o self vibed to how catchy it was!!.....

... slowly grew up and started battling my own demons. And then the lyrics to self inflicted and im still breathing HIT ME HARD. @katyperry writes to my heart, to my soul. Katy, I fell in love with you in 2008 and have been in love forever since. I wish you nothing but happiness.
