I wanted to start off with a quote that I just came across
One of your pursuits is writing and you've been doing it for years
We were talking about closure, which is such a fascinating topic
You write about the importance of your children and what role they play in your life
A lot of my experiences with trauma stem from playing video games
Almost every single person you've dated has been a gamer
Moving to Maine has been the best thing I've ever done for myself
You met a guy on Twitter and moved from Maine to Florida
Did you ever have conversations with your parents about your life expectations
When did you realize you needed a therapist? When did your mental health struggle start
You said you get your strong viewpoints from your dad
You said your mom is scared of the world and you have agoraphobia
Star wants to know how to deal with being bored
The way you measure success is what kind of career you're doing
All of us have the potential to mentally break down during stressful situations
Better call Daddy: It's never too late to help someone
