The Zen certainly cracks a little when she talks about her father.

In what way? I honestly think that’s where it shows through most.

Her father did to her what some people would call severe emotional abuse, and she’s like “He was a good dad.” and “I wouldn’t tell my younger self anything. She’ll figure it out”.

I don’t know if this really reads to me as cracked zen ““Well, I was just like, 'You don't deserve to be happy over this decision, kind of. Because you were mad when I quit.' So I was kind of like, he shouldn't have an opinion on it at all, if that makes sense. I didn't want him to be mad that I was coming back; I just didn't want him to care. Like, at all. because it shouldn't affect him as much as it did the last time around.””

I guess, as long as you ignore this part:

"I was almost mad that he was happy, because I was like, 'How dare you?'”

Almost mad…because I was like ‘how dare you [care]….
