*Jubbly comes from a British saying; “Lovely Jubbly” which means good or wholesome.
In the first part of my lifeline, Jubbly or myself, is a young child in her childhood bedroom and explores my childhood.
Jubbly: Being an only child, I was always obsessed with toys. As if I was in my own little world and that world revolved around these objects. And when I had enough of one… I’d get a new one. (runs to pick up a barbie)
When I was 6, I got my favourite barbie. She was beautiful and she looked like… me. I didn’t think about it too much but I had something so perfect that looked just like how I wanted to be when I was 16. I could block out anything when I had her.
(Sound effects of; people arguing, mum telling me to eat, aunt telling me to do better, teachers asking her to stop talking, all the while the girl keeps playing with her barbies and making sound effects herself) And then I made her meet him, (pulls out male barbie).
His name was… Benny. And I would play with her and Benny like how at school Benny and I would play. I took them everywhere, and I hoped that eventually Benny would love her like I loved Benny in real life. And so I started to have Benny treat her just like Benny did me… The same clothes, the same gestures and even the same words. “Lovely Jubbly” “High School Musical wasn’t that good” “You’re different.” “She drinks too much coffee that’s why she looks like that” “There isn’t anymore room here” “We’re not even friends!”... (Jubbly suddenly stops playing with her barbies)... I don’t want to play with you anymore (Throws away Benny), and you… you’re too ugly to play with anyway. (Throws away girl barbie).
