I'm cracking up so hard rn 🤣 did this actually happen? I figured it didn't but then the bit at the end: "and yes, if you’re reading this man, I do eat mayonnaise sandwiches"......

No, but I've met quite a few people who do :) The Moorings and I are really close friends, we met through mutual friends and used to go to the same church.

You’ve got a great writing style! I admit it was the cute cover art that first drew me in, and I’m glad it did. Looking forward to reading more from you.

Awesome! I saw you subscribed, so thank you! Btw, if the visual identity seems a little wonky, know that I’m in the middle of a soft rebrand 😂

Hey Gloria, I really enjoyed this post! I’ve been thinking a lot lately on the concept of judgement and how judgmental I used to be when I was younger. This story is the perfect example that first impressions aren’t everything. I can’t tell you the amount of people who I thought were just weird, but they ended up being super nice. It encourages me to be more open to new possibilities and try harder to meet new people. Also, that sounds like a fun pool game! Thank you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)
