@Jessica- how wonderful! I’m hoping that’s what I discover when I read through. I mean, I think I’m living the life I wanted but maybe that’s a story I’m telling myself. I’m more worried that current me will read through old entries and just be disgusted with how much mental energy I put into stuff that doesn’t matter.

I have very much become the person the younger version of myself wanted me to be.

@Erin- who knows. She may have just found it second hand, or someone in her organization just pulled it. I assume nothing!

@Cloud- so true that people are more inclined to seek out to criticize. His note made me feel really nice!

When my essay on princesses ran in USA Today, someone tracked me down on Twitter (not mentioned in the article, which was published under my name, not my online pseudonym!) and told me I was a an idiot. That seems like the more usual way of things…

But seriously, that is cool!
