✍🏼 by Amalia Fredericksen

Hello.

In kindergarten, I got my arm stuck in a huge industrial pipe at school. I was there for 3 hours and they had to call the fire department. I was convinced that I'd be stuck there for the rest of my life. But here we are so…

I did a marathon once. Yes, the real-life running kind, not the binge-watching Breaking Bad kind. But to be fair, I've done the binge-watching Breaking Bad kind too. 

One day, I hope to write a commercial that makes my mother laugh harder than the 1994 Cadbury Egg spot that runs every year around Easter. You know the one. That shit is gold.

I strive to be the person my 8-year-old self wanted me to be.
