Are You My Mother?
If you’ve signed up to this newsletter, chances are you know at least a few minor facts about me:
Parents are dead
Book signing wardrobes are colorful
TikTok account is pure jackassery
What you may not know is that, subconsciously, I’ve been looking for someone to fill the mother role in my life. To color in this missing piece so it doesn’t sit there like a big, blank gaping hole. The yearning started soon after my mom’s food addiction finally got the better of her in 2010. I noticed myself feeling disappointed when women whom I thought might step into her role fell short.
