It's Torrey's birthday week! In the present, Jedediah & Torrey discuss mortality, depression, Ozymandias, Oprah, and journaling by way of Gchat. But back in 1993 it was rollerblading (disappointing), presents (for which insufficient gratitude was shown), pizza (pepperoni), and staying up all night (until 6 AM). And fireworks (for America's birthday).

This week features a clip from this month's episode of Lily Sloane's podcast “A Therapist Walks Into a Bar” featuring Jed! Go and give it a listen once you're done here. It's a wonderful thing.

Week 28: July 10–16, 1993

25 years ago, a 12-year-old boy kept a diary. He wrote in it every single day of the year 1993. This year – 2018 – that boy is a 37-year-old man, and he's going through that diary, week by week, to see how he's different, how he's the same, and what we can learn by figuring out who we used to be.
