My life ahead seemed bleak when I was in college so I shudder to think about growing up with social media. I was wrong about my life, thankfully, but I can still recall the feeling.
I just laid in bed and read this whole piece out loud to my boyfriend because I KNEW how good it was going to be. Incredible reporting Jess -- I too shoved things from Victoria’s Secret deep in my closet after my mom told me they would cause me “health problems”

LOVED your piece with the inclusion of multimedia side notes. I teach 13 year olds and still learned something. Great work 👏
How odd. Yours is one of my only two Substack subscriptions. And this morning I published on a memory of being 13. Loved your piece. Cheers to you, Jessica! https://open.substack.com/pub/meganmccarthyhomes/p/in-the-night-garden?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=y8ybx
