@wordsbykristin was this me

I remember when I was starting out, I spoke to an established journalist and told them “read your write up of XYZ deal yesterday” + they were like “oh ya…that one..who’d they sell to?” I couldn’t believe they didn’t remember the news from yesterday, but now I 1000000% get it.
