Hello, Medium. We are Fuckups Anonymous. Come say hi.

Fuckups Anonymous

Sometimes an idea hits you like the first rays of sun after a weeklong rainstorm, warming your skin and immediately elevating your mood. I met Monsieur Fuckup over twenty years ago, with braces on my teeth and pigtails that weren’t ironic. I adored him immediately.

We reconnected a decade later, bumping into each other at a bar in the hometown where we grew up. I adored him still. We fell out of touch again only months later, separated by 1,500 miles and our respective needs to grow up.

Another decade passed and we reconnected again. This time the meeting felt serendipitous, I didn’t want to let it pass. He is a special fucking person, you guys.

I had just started taking my writing more seriously, and he sent me a gift in the mail that got us talking with more regularity. We half-joked about starting an advice column after he so eloquently replied to a note I’d sent about some little drama I was experiencing in my life.

While miles still separate us, the bond is growing, and we felt the calling for this joint project.

Fast forward to now, and here we are.

We are Fuckups Anonymous.

Two recovering fuckups with a lot of vulnerability, empathy, and a healthy dose of humor (and cuss words). You can find us here on Medium, or head over to our website at FuckupsAnonymous.com. There you will find our anonymous submission form. Go on, try it. Send us some shit. We’ll write you back.

XO,

La Fuckup
