One of my favorites yet. Feels like some of your most honest work. This part especially - "To know that I can be a person that writes and gets angry and sometimes does both at the same time because not every part of her story needs to be pieced apart, made sense of, double-spaced, printed out, edited, printed out again, revised, and then validated by an audience of Very Important People, in order for it to be true for her."
Loved this very much for its ability to make me feel very human, shed 1-2 small tears, then laugh a little (though somewhat nervously because I'm low-key worried about the possibility of the "ex best friend at the grocery store" scenario).
I am too! I can picture myself going to great lengths to hide behind the bananas in the produce section, only to have them be witness to the entire thing, and then trying to make up an over complicated explanation to why I was crouching behind the bananas.
And thank you so so much, Kendal. That means the mostest :-)
