The fictional character I relate to the most is the T. rex from Jurassic park. We didnโ€™t ask to be born, people donโ€™t think weโ€™re ladylike, we eat whatever is in our way, and we unintentionally destroy entire businesses run by supposed geniuses. Sheโ€™s truly a millennial icon.

If you go that route I recommend creating your own publication instead of publishing to your profile bc the publication lets you send out newsletters to peopleโ€™s email addresses while the profile posts do not. I have about 9k followers which isnโ€™t the most but definitely not the least

This excerpt started a heated debate on my TikTok and eventually resulted in me writing a whole book. Do you think your parents should babysit your kids? #booktok #family
