If I was talking to my father

And if I told him I was on Wegovy, he'd probably tell me that I was an idiot. That GLP-1s are a fad. That all I need to do is cut down and get moving and the weight would fall off.

Well, fuck you, Dad.  You're the one, you and Mom, who didn't treat the Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia that causes obesity. Stick your (imagined) judgments. 

Just saying

If you friend-request me and your profile consists of selfies and self-attributed quotes, I'm gonna delete it. 

By the way

One day I will call you out so hard your fucking nose hairs will sting. You won't be expecting it either. That's the best part.

The bygone

Every day I look at Facebook Memories. This morning I'm watching a video of Jack and Maizie at Kiva Beach in Lake Tahoe. They truly are still with me. How could they not be?
