you asked for it:)
Results of last week's Q&A box
Last week, I summoned the voyeurs and posted an anonymous Q &A box on my IG stories. Based on the responses, I’m resharing some of my answers along with a few more. Enjoy!
Respectfully, I’m curious to know why you chose to divorce?
Lucky for you, I wrote 20 paragraphs about it.
What’s something you wish people would ask you, but rarely do?
Can I make you some banana bread? My answer is always yes:)
(update: I made some for myself this week)
Which characters in your favorite shows or movie remind you most of yourself??
I’d say a cocktail of the stubborn grit of Frances McDormand in Three Billboards mixed with the naive guilelessness of Aimee in Sex Education and the conviction of Danielle in Ever After.
Honorable mention: Tyrion Lannister in GOT. I don’t know if I want to be him or be with him. But, he is maybe one of my favorite TV characters of all time.
Do you feel weird about strangers asking you about your sexuality and being handcuffed to the bed?
not really
What do you keep in your nightstand?
In my nightstand: a vibrator and underwear. On top: jewelry and a half-empty Fresca.
Any thoughts on bisexuality? Are you open to exploring that as well in your next chapter? You’re one of my queer crushes online.
haven’t explored yet, but I’m open :)
Will you ever tell us the real reason for the divorce? You guys seemed so happy.
Ha this question feels so accusatory. I’ve told you everything. We were happy. We made a really great team and I miss him terribly. More than I can possibly say. Nick is easily one of the best people I’ve ever met AND I think we’re doing what’s right for us.
Speaking only for myself (Nick has his own experience), there are things I want to learn about myself that I felt I couldn’t do in our marriage container. This may not make sense to some of you, but the shadow of the mormon scaffolding on which our marriage was predicated HAUNTED me...since the beginning. I felt the itch especially around autonomy and eroticism. I didn’t love the version of me showing up in some of these areas. I can see why this is confusing for folks and I’m afraid I can’t handhold your confusion. I’m sorry.
But, if it’s a villain you’re looking for, pick me. Happy and eager to volunteer as tribute.
