In this episode, I'll be reading my very first diary... or at least, the first diary that I kept. Its cover is decorated in the phone numbers of every kid in my class plus some glitter for good measure. In the back, there is a glossary where I define "love," "like," "dump," and "crush." Listen as I meet up with ten-year-old me for a tea - we talk about marriage, OCD, loneliness, and of course... Justin! (Sorry, Justin... I'm over you!)
