It’s been a minute since I posted! I took a month to focus on myself and healing the damage caused by the single most awful person that has ever come into my life. Mostly, I’ve just been getting out there, … Continued
Erica Van Driel, you’ve been served!
GODDAMN THAT FELT GOOD. I got to serve Erica this morning. In person. First, surprise. Then, confusion. Then shock. Then resignation. Then contempt. It was better than any sunrise I’ve ever seen. The look on her face was the most … Continued
