Hi Polly.

Thanks for doing what you do and being a writer in an age where that seems like an impossible job and for letting the world know your ugliest, messiest moments so we can relate and heal. The amount of comfort it brings me to read about you being a miserable 20-something in an office with a shitty boyfriend…
