The Angsty Pod
For more than 2 decades, I have written in a diary almost every single day. And guess what? I saved them ALL. Each week, I will be reading from these archives and getting to know myself from the lens of my 10, 16, 25, and 36-year-old self. We'll explore big topics such as body image, queerness, divorce, addiction, mental health, and friendship. I'll read cringy poems and attempt to find compassion for the painful tenderness of my younger self. Join the drama of me and my guests as we explore our boy-crazy, closeted, angsty selves... one stupid page at a time.

It's 2007 - the summer before I leave for college. Life is a party and I am dying inside.
Also, I still don't know what happened with Dave. >_<
My entire life is devoted to house parties, bar hopping, and nursing my hangxiety. My heart is with my boyfriend Corey, but the rest of me... she's all over the place.
My life is bursting at the seams with drama, drama, drama. I'm mad at my boyfriend, my boyfriend's sister is mad at me, my sister is mad at me, my sister is best friends with my boyfriend's sister. IT'S CHAOS.
At the very end of this diary, I move away to college! I have an emotional moment with my Dad and am about to enter into the best/worst year of my life!
Thanks for coming along for this wild ride. <3 Also, shoutout to Rhonda!
