I am glad you’re referencing Bret Easton Ellis. Because this is not the first time that your writing gives me B.E.E. vibes.

I hope the lawyer comes through and gets you paid! Best to you.

I hope you get back pay too. I don't know what planet some people live on to abandon their kids. Sending lots of love.

This reminds me of the xanga stories I first discovered of yours. I just remember you taking me as a reader clearly down a path I had never experienced and could never even imagine as sheltered 20 year old from a small town.

Oh the Meryl’s of our lives, love this for so many reasons. Keep your chin up with your ex, so stressful. I get it. I so enjoyed the character comp images, especially Meryl/JG.

Love the line “you can’t text Meryl.”

Thank you for the inspo, I just recently started my substack and still finding my footing.

You give me hope!!

Make the paid a bit more. I often go thru and cancel my subscriptions. But not this one, Probably never. I feel like I’m apart of the crowd I was never really apart of, when I read this. In the best way.

Been hanging out with my 27 year old neighbor who wants to have sex, but I just want to be friends and not get my heart broken, and instead meet my soulmate who’s age appropriate. So instead I stay lonely.

YES to all of this. Every time you write a newsletter I want ten more.

Kelly! I’m so glad you got a Canadian lawyer. I really hope that you get this resolved and are fully compensated at least financially for this gross behaviour from your ex.

I don’t know how to message you directly but I am in a very similar boat with my ex in Scotland and I don’t know how I can make him pay the child support that is 6+ months past due but I do need a lawyer and haven’t had a ton of success finding one. I’m in Victoria and kind of a friend of your mum’s (artist stuff) and wondering if you may share your lawyer info with me privately.

Sorry for the weird post but I’m staving off another panic attack as I open new bills today. Apologies for the public comment but I know you get it and I hope it’s ok I posted here. ♥️

I love how I feel I’m watching a Cool asz movie while reading this...

Fabulous.

As a fellow “I’ve been lonely lately.” These moments, for me, are where I entertain the most medium-low dating potential men. I feel like I’m watching myself while still KNOWING I’m actually in control.

this is exactly how I feel too, that line, simple and eloquent, completely captured my current state in dating, and all you've said too ❤️

For what its worth, I've heard that Leo actually listens to podcasts while he fucks. Using headphones.

That sounds super enjoyable.
