Transcript

Come with me to face my trauma in my little brother's bedroom for context is alive. He would have thought that joke was pretty funny, but I'm gonna move on from that. I'm in summer. If you follow me, you know that I'm kind of giving myself an adult summer break because I'm burnt out from my job, and I'm dealing with grief and I'm ready to just be with my family for a bit. I was definitely sad when I got in last night because the crushing reality that is confronting me, like, he is buried. So naturally, I helped my mom run an errand. We donated books at the local public library that I have not been to since I was a small child. About women, that's my mom. Literally driving me to a brand event that I got invited to in my hometown. I've driven past this hotel a million times, but I've never actually stayed here because I grew up here. Obviously, came rooms, so I'm Birkenstock. stock with some shoes. I walked up my spiral staircase up to my very fancy room, and I'll be staying in for a few days with the brand. So I feel so honored and lucky that I got invited to do this trip in my hometown. Knowing all the spots we're going, I just feel so grateful that this is my life now. So, yep, me. Okay, that was crazy. Bye.
