It’ll blow your mind
It’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done. And it’s happening in 45 American minutes. I am meeting with a woman who is going to unscrew the top of my head and peek inside. (I mean that figuratively, not literally, thank you Jesus.) I am going to a psychological evaluation. It’s part of the process to
