A Little Too Personal...
One crisp October morning at the height of the very beginning of 2010s, Tumblr girls, skinny waists and drug habits, our high school psychology teacher dropped a ticking bomb on us by admitting that βIβm jealous of those of you that are of a 100% origin.β

"Roadmap to anywhere". I appreciate your unique take on Mackenzie's challenge!
βPLAN-B conception delayedβ Lmao I literally choked on my water! This is sooo relatable. π€£π€£ Thank you for the laugh and congratulations! π π©΅
Ooh, very nice! "Lifesavers, any kind" love that ending! Wonderful entry, Lamar, and congrats on Top Story!!
I love fresh bananas. They effortlessly peel open.LOL.
This is such fun and a cultural tour de force - fascinating and has me smiling at the ending - lifesavers - any kind ha ha ha!!!
Fantastic list, Lammar! This was such a great piece! I knew exactly what was going on as I read through each new list. Loved the little descriptions next to each item and your last lines were brilliant!! Bravo!
Congrats on the TS.
I had a feeling this would make Top Story. Congrats
Congrats on the top story. Just amazing
This was amusing! πCongrats on your TOP STORY Lamar!π
Reading this reminded me about how even the most mundane things in life--like a grocery list--can help someone understand the point in life someone is at. The lighthearted take on this kind of poetry is lovely. Puts a smile on my face. Thanks making this.
This was fun!! I love the side commentary to each item! The twist at the end was unexpected, but I love that it didn't feel like a sad thing. Nicely done Lamar!
Congratulations on Top Story!!
Love it. The twist at the end was perfect.
I'm a tad confused. The second date, was it supposed to be July? Now I have a hankering for Pringles! I loved your take on this challenge!
I have a terrible sweet tooth so I loved how all the sweets, gummi bears and lifesavers seemed like an absolute necessity for this individual! Fun list with a few twist! Great work Lamar. π
Fabulous list!!! Loving it!!!πβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Ah Lamar, I never took you for that kind of guy! (Just in case your wondering, blondes don't necessarily have more fun. I can testify to that.)
Great list
Started at Whole Foods and ended at Love's Truck Stop with an interlude in Walmart. You covered all the bases.

Wow! You really rose to the occasion for this one. Each list told its own part of the story. I loved it!
Well that works downhill fast! Well done.
This is unique, Lamar! Itβs like a mini mystery in list form.
Wow, love this. So much going on in such a clever way. This felt like the end of a relationship and wanting to change identity and escape almost!
