We’re Live

Are u ok?

A dm from one of my long-time friends, Adriana. She knew me way before and had a keen skill for noticing when my life was askew, even from far away. She lives by the beach in Santa Barbara now, where she’s a therapist to wealthy college kids who, finally out from under their highly successful, rich, or famous parents, are trying to figure out who they actually are. So I live in Logan Circle in Washington, D.C. We have the same kinds of kids here, and I avoid them like the plague.

Unfortunately, they all know who I am because I’m the press secretary of a powerful Senator currently on an antitrust bend. The thing about being a press secretary, other than always being camera-ready and using your own identity as a brand that is an extension of the elected official you work for, is that people outside of the beltway can’t make heads or tails of it.

We’re hardly real people to them.

Yeah, what’s up? U ok?
