12. Sometimes I think about this embarrassing moment I had once. I was dress shopping with my mom at the mall. A mannequin fell from wherever it was hanging and made a sound that caused my soul to leave my body and shrivel up. For some reason though, I decided to make direct eye contact with some random man while I went through the several emotions of shock. I’m sure it was a 30 second event but it felt like an hour of my face making several versions of Van Gogh’s Screaming Man all while the random man had a front and center view of this horror show.

    Anyways, this was 14 years ago and I age a little extra everytime I think about it.
