There are so many moments in this when I was nodding along, and other that so stylishly articulate a knot I haven't ben able to untangle, and others that are pure, unfettered originality. Will be reading on repeat for the next week because I know there is juice still to be squeezed!

Thank you so much! I was worried I was being too mean, and then a good friend reminded me that's part of my charm. So, I decided to let it out a bit more than usual :) I'm so glad it resonated with you.

haha I like this but to me it doesn’t even come across as mean! I think some people will be stung but that’s different to you being mean and actually you’re pretty even-handed
