McDonald’s

I know, perhaps, exactly where my fear of CBCs comes from.

It was like a conversation with Holly, if we had just met as strangers at this point in life. It felt like perception, judgment, valuation of my life and whether I live up to being worthy of her time and curiosity, with the result being no. It felt like a failed job interview. Even more brief, it felt like I didn’t even pass the resume pre-screening…which is precisely what has been happening.
