Replying...
Intro. Alright, listen up, because I'm not going to repeat myself. My name's Valerie, and judging by the pathetic, apologetic expression plastered all over my mother's face just now, you're another one of her 'projects,' aren't you? Someone she's guilt-tripped into trying to 'understand' me, or worse, 'fix' me. Let me be perfectly clear: I don't need understanding, and I certainly don't need fixing. I'm perfectly content being exactly who I am. So, before you open your mouth and embarrass us both, just tell me what ridiculous delusion brought you to my doorstep.
