They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but I wish they had killed me instead.

That 45 seconds from when you hop on zoom therapy and your therapist isn't there yet and you hope it's canceled so you don't have to trauma dump to the nice lady in Texas while her kids are napping.

@GoldsteinRaw @takimoto23x @BackesEric @carterlockwood Kind of a tough question because there are a couple stages before your get the call. I knew I crushed the test, but the stars aligned for everything else too.

@carterlockwood @OneEclecticMom It was *so* cold! Good call on the sweater. I kept putting on my jacket when I wasn't on camera.

The Real Lolita by Sarah Weinman

Finished: 01/06/19

While Lolita's concepts are egregious and criminal at worst, and creepy at best, I still have a soft spot for the fact that Humbert Humbert is *supposed* to be evil. The reader that doesn't glean that from the get-go is being dishonest with themselves.
