Funny You Should Ask

by Elissa Sussman

If there’s one sin that I’d like Hollywood to atone for, it isn’t bolstering the belief in love at first sight or having one true soulmate. It’s in convincing me that the kinds of friendships I saw on the screen were possible in real life.

It’s a funny thing when the world thinks it knows you. Or, when you think what the world knows is who you are.

But when you’re focused on feeding something that can never truly be satiated, you miss what you’re actually hungry for.
