Want to Read $ 2.99"At what point does the narcissism and cruelty of childhood stop being adorable and start being a possible symptom of a mental disorder? I cannot answer this question. I don't understand Lori, despite four decades of attempts. Seeking to understand Lori is a black hole that sucks up everything around it. I'm tired of that. It meant that through much of my life in my family, I didn't get to have a story. This led me to an obsession with trying to think about the people, places, and things we don't think about."-Guy Branum, My Life as a Goddess: A Memoir through (Un) Popular Culture
