    I had a girlfriend try to make me speak differently because I embarrassed her by using big words in front of others. The company you keep eh?

        Back then I was a mess socially. I’m still an introvert but I code switch like a pro. I only break out the big vocab with close friends who know I’m not trying to look smart.
