Thank you for mentioning the third essay because NO ONE ELSE has, even though it was published first! What makes me craziest (apart from the fact she mentions buying, wearing and retuning jewelry, not long after The Cut did an article about people being cut off for excessive returns) is that the reasons for her money issues are totally ignored. How did it come to be that she denies herself so much that going out to dinner is a big deal? And why does it have to be big productions on date night instead of a happy hour? Did the therapist say they had to spend X or it didn’t count?

Ahhhhh I don’t live anywhere near NYC but am just obsessed with a good the-cut-did-it-again moment, and was already having the best week ever with TWO. And now you’ve given me three!! Go get well but also thank you so much!

I knew you were talented, but to write this coherently and humorously while so sick? Not fair.
