I’m not allowed to get angry, sad or otherwise emotional in my relationship, so yeah, I’d love to come along and get messy!

This was such a good piece! I am really in my head. I feel like I have it the worst at all times, I feel like I’m the least put together person in the room. And it isolate me. It keeps me from talking about what I’m going through. Thank you for reminding me that everyone is a little bit messy

I've always thought you're pretty cool, Courtenay. Mess or no mess, that won't change. Well,

I guess I personally prefer honest mess over mess hidden under perfect mask, so, maybe now you're even cooler? Xoxo

Jesus this is good. I feel like I want to gladly crawl into bed early and think about the 17 different ideas this essay spawned. Lovely entree to Substack!

*raises hands, both of them, awkwardly, waving them in the air so you know I'm in*
