HB Ep. 88: Now what?
With her book coming out next week, Youngmi reflects on why she feels the way she does
This week, Youngmi processes her emotions about her book coming out next week in real time. She comes to the realization that her fear of her parents being angry at her for sharing her account of her childhood is actually misplaced sadness, anger and the feeling of utter unfairness at the realization that she is, in fact, the person who deserves to be angry. She realizes she is the person owed an apology, not the other way around. She also once again touches on how ridiculous it is to feel bad when something good happens.
