Jog can be Fin because you have to make the J an I, the O an N, and the G an F.

Mens is Font when you make the E an F, the N an O, the M an N, and the S a T.

Those two sentences have an even amount of letters in them.

I've been trying switching words by just moving one letter forward or backwards instead of jumping many letters forward or backward. like Stead could be You're, but you'd have to go very far foward in the alphabet.

There are four girls in the room again whereas for a little while it was just two.

There are six women in the kitchen because I am number Six and I have been invited by Big Jyamma. "Kate! Kitchen? Ba, Ma!"

There are 11 people in the group and in two days there will be 10. Lauren will be the defecting member. Back home on a plane without the ten strangers she came with who are now the ten friends she is leaving.

This time one year ago I was dating a beautiful boy who was not much else and living in a room by myself. I was watching Law & Order marathons and filling and emptying my fridge in a day's time. I had longer hair and a shorter list of things I loved to do. I did not know how to finish a scarf and I did not understand self-acceptance. I would sit in a room once a week with a man who asked "How do you feel about that?" and I would spend the rest of the day trying to answer the question. I worked at the Women's Center, did not know I loved my bike, and acted as if my bubble was made of steel.
