THAT LAST LINE. Got me right in the feels. Thank you for sharing this story!
Hey! Sorry to be a bother but could you put a TW for vomit imagery? It was super triggering :(
Life is hard.Best to get over it.
Wow, nobody has ever asked me shut up in text.

First time for everything. Really not your place to tell someone else how to feel. They were expressing their valid reactions to the piece, and respectfully asking for a small accomodation. Its already hard enough to ask for things like that. Comments like “get over it” are both unhelpful and seriously disrespectful.
I love this piece, especially the end. Looking forward to the next installments <3
“I was commiserating with Layla above and you have absolutely no right to join in just to tell us to get over it.”
In fact, we do. Ain’t that some shit?
When it rains, it pours huh? Still, I am glad that things turned out at least 3/4 well! Your troubles aside (my sympathies!), that was a great read.
When my sister got married, I engaged in some “wedding party action,” but she wasn’t happy when she found out and yelled at me for that. But hey, I got to make out with a cute someone, so that’s a glass at least half-full! =)
This is so good! <3
Alyssa, you are still my mini Xena….. you are a real girl/woman/bionicsuperhero/pup/kitten……upchucking chug-a-lugging beast of femaleness and ability to see the humor/agony of yourself and your choices! Still my hero!!!
Alyssa’s articles are becoming one of my favorite things about Autostraddle… and there’s a lot to like here.

Ditto!
Lady Gaga is the worst! It’s science. Agreed on all counts.
