I Served A Woman Who Scoffed at Me All through High School & Finally Took My Revenge after 20 Years


“Yes, and after years of therapy and hard work, not only did I overcome those challenges, but I also built a successful business.”

Karen, now completely deflated, couldn’t meet my gaze. Her date drank his whiskey when it arrived, and she held onto her phone, although she wasn’t using it.

“Can I take your order?” I asked again.

Karen shook her head. And then got up from her chair, ready to escort her own shame out the door.

Later that night, as I sat in my bed, looking through old photos on my phone gallery—I realized that I had finally healed the teenager in me. The teenager who needed to be reminded that she could fight and find success and joy for herself.

It had taken about 20 years, but I finally felt free. I finally felt like I had unleashed all the trauma from high school.
