Absolutely brilliant! I can't decide which part is my favorite, because all of this is just too real.
Holy shit, this is badass. Don’t cry over those fools. People are weirdos. If they knew what a brilliant writer you are they’d be makin tracks to get with you. This is a really great piece.
This is just so clever and so funny. Loved it.
That was rather brilliant and entertaining. Awesome job! I think my favorite was “Seven new insecurities” to pile on top of the others a person may have to begin with. Never a good sign that things are going right! Loved your poem. 💖
Ah now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head... very funny, thanks!
LOL this was great, Cloë! I love that you kept the meter in line with the orignal! This should have Top Story in its future!
Lol this is so relatable. Especially that “lots of anxiety” part for me! That’s why I stopped online dating 😂
