An email made in middle school, Usernamed by my mother. A name too embarrassing to type or say aloud. Underneath it, an email created in recent years that is quasi-acceptable, yet still carries some sense of shame, being that it holds the middle name I had always hidden from those I deemed too cool to think it was anywhere near. Both of these addresses becoming dumpsters for organic, sustainable beauty brands that I once couldn’t say no to. Now, I seem to have stronger boundaries with my wallet, and consumerist marketing tactics.
