Thanks to @Rachel Kramer Bussel for publishing this piece! Even if Hannah Montana turning 20 means I’m officially old 🫣

I felt so much here and related to the anixety. I felt just heartbroken reading this, from the description of the teacher's attitude toward you, to the prom crush, to other vulnerable moments. You have written this with such skill and precision. Thank you for sharing it!

As a fellow quiet girl trying to pull all my different masks to fit together while growing up, I related to this so much. Wonderful essay, Kate!
