Congrats on loans! That’s such a burden lifted.

CONGRATS on the student loans! Mine have also been forgiven. Long story behind that.

Root canals are bullshit. Pull that bitch out. I opted for an upper denture and a lower partial. Smartest thing I ever did. 😁

I am considering returning to Medium. Stockholm Syndrome. 🤪

Thank you for your update. Updates are good! 😊❤️

I’m already in with this root canal so I have to see it to the end.

Good luck with medium. Maybe it’s just not working for me.

And congrats on loan discharge!

"For my Medium friends, what happened?"

I wish I knew! It's been really disheartening.

Ugh, it’s SO bad now.

Congratulations on your student loan news! That's a huge boulder of stress off your shoulders. I'm sorry to hear about your root canal. Hope your insurance gets back to you/your dentist ASAP.

October of 2023 was when I published my last piece on Medium. Good riddance to bad rubbish. *Sighs*

I am so happy to read your loans were forgiven. That's exactly how I felt when I logged into Mohela one day around my due date to pay on my loan and saw Total due: $0.00. I had gotten a few emails about my debt being in line to be forgiven, then one stating that it may not take place, and then months later... $0.00. I had $10K left, and I was so happy to see that.

Prayerfully, that root canal will get here sooner rather than later. I hate tooth pain!

Oh! You got the golden email too?! I swear, I thought it was a joke. The government finally did something right. Congrats to you too and your writing is far too human and good for medium

Thank you! Yours, too, ma'am! We should be blowing up elsewhere, but... patience.

Yeah, I got mine when Biden was in office, though, so about two years ago? I was excited and happy. Lol.

Amazing news re: the loans! That is fantastic to hear.

Dental woes are the absolute worst. THE. WORST. And insurance companies' wait times are like the tenth circle of hell. Hope you are able to get some relief soon.

Thank you!! I’m still in pain with the root canal in 10 days! Thank god for pain meds

And this is the comedy of life. Good stuff interspersed with the ridiculous, painful, and good. And I for one love your essays!!

Which Dostoyevsky, Fyodor, or Bruce? Just kidding, which book?

I ordered White Nights because I never read it and the Brothers Karamazov because I haven't read that in over 20 years.
