A really good explanation that I felt deserved to be highlighted.

I sold drugs to go to my senior prom only to be ditched by my date so he could go with his girlfriend that I didn't know he had. I thought I was his girlfriend. Prom is such a waste of money and so much effort for some bullshit. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Any idea why he went with you instead of his actual girlfriend?

Oh looking back now, I know I was definitely the side piece and just didn't know it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It broke my heart but getting over it played into who I am today 🙂
