Episode 10 - The Pool Party

It's the summer of grade 9 and I am throwing my bestie a surprise birthday party. It's very pop-and-chips - a bunch of kids just playing games and fighting in the pool. At the party, my mom reveals something that changes the course of my childhood forever. Also, in this episode, I am struggling with my sister's weight loss/ED and swooning over too many boys. It's a wild ride and you'll need your seatbelt for this one.

I also want to say, reading these diaries has been getting a bit tough. I'm finding it difficult to reconcile the fact that a lot of my core memories aren't accurate and that things unfolded differently than I've always told myself they unfolded. I've been more emotional than usual lately, and it's been bleeding out into my life. I'm not going to quit... but just taking extra good care of myself lately has been my priority.
