Very good article. I feel like I just walked in on you naked, but it’s okay since you left the door unlocked.

Haha. Apologies for the existential nudity. Rest assured the therapist has seen far worse, and charged me triple for it. Help yourself to metaphorical cake; I stabbed it with feeling.

PS: It’s half rage, half shame, and entirely gluten-free.

Your journal entry could’ve been mine.

The cruelest lie jealousy tells us is that we want their lives, when what we’re starving for is the permission slip they’ve already granted themselves.

Thank you for seeing your face in my funhouse mirror. May we both outgrow these cocoons and steal back the scissors. 🔥
