I was stuffing, stuffing, stuffing to the point near the end that I would be talking to my best friend and she would be telling me that her husband just left her, her dog died and the world is ending and I would sit across from her and I was so good at numbing out everything that I would go. I'd be losing my mind on the person at the front desk, losing my mind like I couldn't.
