I met the coolest woman today. She picked me up from the rental-car company and we were laughing by the time we hit the freeway.

She has three kids. The oldest is 10. She got pregnant at 12, gave birth at 13. "I was doing bad things then," she said. A decade later, she seems like she's really got her shit together. She loves her kids, their dad is still in their lives, and she was genuinely cool to talk with. I love meeting people like this.
