Thank you for answering my question ladies 💜 Katya I’m buying that book as we speak. I hope there really is a ticket fairy in Philly but either way I’m looking forward to seeing you in April. It will be the highlight of my year! —“Lost Soul”
I agree with everyone. This LTCFTL was particularly wonderful. A lot of great advice from the CEO of bouncing back herself (including that quote) and I'm eager to try Katya's recommendations. And for whatever reason, I love imagining a fictional Katya falling in love after hooking up with a fake roommate and then freaking out the next day. I'm seeing a knife being waved in a dramatic chase scene with lots of shrieking and a curly wig askew. But only for fictional Katya. Not for real Katya.
This was a great edition. I love that the advice given from T & K is so different, but both very sound and reasonable. LTC/FTL is superior to the one-person advice columns of yore where some crunchy columnist with a pseudonym makea you feel like their single perspective/advice is the Be-All End-All.
Q3 - that is a major age gap with a big power dynamic built in, no matter the intentions involved. Our brains don't even finish growing until 25. This may be something to do a bit of research into, and see if it strikes a chord with the unease you're feeling.

Very interesting answers
