Amazing as always - I always relate to your writing so viscerally, it takes me a moment to remember that you wrote this and I didn't just eject the thought from my brain onto the page. Fantastic stuff!

Insightful! Also, I feel a lot older now too but thanks for blaming it on America and it's fashion cycles 🤣

Excited to see more of your posts. LA must be quite an experience.
