My dog’s name is Alan. When I rescued him, I texted my family “I have news: Alan and I are moving in together!” and watched the panicked messages flood in. When I sent a photo, they were relieved that Alan was a dog and not a secret boyfriend they had never heard of before 🤣
"I didn’t want to be alone, so I chose a person who chased me down until I finally had to get a court order against him"
This line is poetry.
Been there! It's so hard to excavate our own shit, but it's so necessary. Loving watching the road trip progress. Nothing like single women who are unstoppable doing it for themselves.
I absolutely love your writing and platform. I feel like I'm low key stalking you because I check for new sandwiches and sub-stacks so frequently. We need your voice now more than ever. Your writing and stories connect for me in a way that few (if any) others do. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing yourself in such a beautiful, vulnerable way. Your are an inspiration.
Safe travels, enjoy those kisses, and keep making sandwiches!
(And if you come to Portland, OR, please do a meet and greet, or stand up, or something!)
That means everything, thank you so much Allyson! It’s very cool to hear that it connects for you — sharing my story and listening to other people’s experiences helps me move forward. I’ll keep making sandwiches and writing, and I’ll be in the Rose City in August - would love to organize a gathering with some comedy!!! Thank you 🫶
Yes! Every time I tell anyone I'm going on a road trip they inevitably fire back with, "alone?!" And I say, "No, I'll have my dogs." So much less "lonely" to be with one's self and creatures who love them than to be with a human who's cruel or indifferent. Love this for us!
I hope you are having a great time and discovering new things and I’m so happy you are content in yourself. You deserve only great things and your sister would be so proud of you
I’m so fortunate to call you a friend, you are the absolute best (and funniest, pls do stand up) 💙 thank you for being an excellent example of how to live well and be true to yourself

Haha that’s amazing. Archie would never pretend he’s not in a relationship with me, thank god, unlike my ex 😂
Ha! Yes, Archie sounds like a lovely companion! The men should take notes!

Thank you so much. I'm so glad we both excavated and are pushing forward!! ❤️
