I read the bell jar not that long ago and it’s one of my all time favourite books. Sylvia’s life was so tragic. It scares me how much Lana seems to mention her and relate? to her in her own work, but I’m proud of her for fighting her demons and choosing to keep going.

My little analysis. Below is from the link you posted. Hope I am not violating some copyright rules or anything.
 
“I had removed my patent leather shoes after a while, for they foundered badly in the sand. It pleased me to think they would be perched there on the silver log, pointing out to sea, like a sort of soul-compass, after I was dead.”― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
 
In Lana's poem
 
To bring my pair of baby pattern leather shoes to turn them the other way
towards the sea cliff stairs, not at the ocean
To bring them back up safe to the facility instead
 
Lana wants to point her shoes towards the land and not the ocean like she is choosing life!    Too heavy? I don't know.

Yeah! I also interpreted her words that way.

Sorry if I’m annoying you guys by posting so much lately, but thank you to whoever posted this on YouTube bc now I can listen to it on repeat as I fall asleep at night.

Did someone ask for a Typewriter ?  
 

Please don't ask reasonable questions. With Lana up is down and left is right and on and on.

Sylvia
 
I knew what you meant when you talked about swimming in the ocean and leaving your patent leather black shoes pointed towards it while you swam
It tickled you to leave them there
 
there's a poem by Sylvia Plath in the Bell Jar that speaks about suicide and leaving her shoes pointed towards the sea. 
 
you can download the book here https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20160540
 
 
I can work on some additional analysis 

speaking of how badly worded was lana's post: this is a perfect example
you could have said it in a nicer way just like the comments before you did
because as you see, clearly, this is my first post, and i'm still new to how the things work here, and thank you. 

Thanks,
 
You're not the one I'm worried about. I think she said what you wrote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone already posted it on YouTube.
 
Use 4K Videodownloader (its free)  to record the video, or just record the MP3 for you     I already got it
 

Thanks,

Ah thanks ... edited

Ok I'm not trying to be an ass but there is one line I have a problem with and it's things like this that could come back to bite her from well, critics.
 
You have to separate the wheat from the shaft      I listened a few times closely and that is what she said I think.
 
The expression is actually  "You have to separate the wheat from the chaff"
 
 
From the web.
Definition: Select the valuable things/people and take them away from the non-valuable things/people.
 
This expression first appeared in the Bible. It is a metaphor that speaks about how God will separate those who are worthy and those who are unworthy.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. It comes from the age-old practice of literally separating wheat from chaff. When winnowing grain, farmers wanted to remove all chaff from wheat. In the literal meaning, chaff is the husk around a seed, which one does not eat. In order to eat the wheat, one must remove the chaff.
