93: "The Inside Girl" by Carrie King (Schaeffer) 10.25.25

Carrie tried smoking grass at 14. It's not what you think. It didn't go well.Today, we’re doing something a little different: Carrie is sharing a finished thing—a non-fiction short story she wrote called “The Inside Girl.” It’s about growing up in a bubble, longing to be inside of culture, and the day teenage curiosity met cattail fluff and…fire. It’s a story she needed to write to make sense of her longing to belong._____________________________________________________________Where to find Carrie:Read “The Inside Girl” on SubstackSubstack: carriekingpresents.substack.comInstagram: @carriekingpresentsYouTube: @carriekingpresents
