I love it when you tell me your troubles.

I nearly ducked out of our coffee date, and am so glad I didn’t, even though you were preoccupied when we greeted each other, and immediately delivered me a litany of toxic workplaces, people who waste your time but don’t buy, people who buy but don’t pay, how ambition is stunted when it’s so hard to get anything started … on and on and wonderfully on.
