...and pretend to have some semblance of control. But control was something
i'd lost a long time ago. "As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval,
you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself.
No one can give you that. You have to know who you are - what otehrs say is irrelevant."
"And though I have done many shameful things, I am not ashamed of who I am.
I am not ashamed of who I am because I know who I am. I have tried to rip myself open and expose everything inside -
accepting my weaknesses and strengths - not trying to be anyone else.'Cause that never works, does it?
Some thought the women the character Zelda was based on in Tweak by Nic Sheff could be the actress Tatum O'Neal or the actress Tawny Kitaen (who appeared in Whitesnake videos in the 1980s).
TL stands for Tenderloin. It's a neighborhood in SF where a lot of homeless addicts end up
Nic Sheff, the author, met Lauren originally in high school and dated briefly, but she was a senior and was rumored to have been a 'tweak', basically. They slept together for a few weeks during this time period. Five years later he meets her again in San Francisco after relapsing once again into drug use. Lauren is a fellow addict as well and the pair have a very tumultuous relationship that leans towards codependent frequently.

I believe the tweak your looking for is called 'Gridlock' but bear in mind you have to pay for the tweak :) -Hope it helps!
If you are referring to the book, Tweak then it is a book about a kid who grows up on drugs, and of course, becomes addicted. It's an amazing book, if you haven't read it yet, you should. The author is Nic Sheff. Tweak is also the slang term for being high, or to do crack/cocaine.
