We’re at dinner and I’m telling Lizzie about my life. 

I grew up in Montreal.
We moved around a lot.
I went to a Catholic high school, all-girls, private.
We used to be poor then we were middle class.
I have very few pictures of myself between the years 2005 - 2011.
I was a pothead and a [redacted] in CEGEP and undergrad, respectively.
I’ve always had nice teeth.
I used to work at a nail salon.
I used to work at a call centre. 
I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life until 2018.
I’ve lived all over the country.
I didn’t cry when I left Montreal.
I hated Vancouver.
I love Toronto.
I have avoidant attachment, apparently.
I’m a workaholic, maybe.
I think class is the true frontier but its mechanisms conceal this truth.
I love money.
I love people deeper but differently than I used to.
I was a lesbian for a whole year in my early twenties. 
I liked Dune 2 better than Dune 1 but neither as much as Dune (1984).
I would have ten kids if I could but I’ll be happy with two.
I have Pilates in the morning.

It’s always the same stories.
