Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day; listen as I confess my love for the president, and, of course, my heartbreak; listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth; listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worst version of myself, a self I don't even recognize.
Escolto espantada i mortificada com parlo de què ha passat durant el dia; escolto el moment quan confesso el meu amor pel president i, per descomptat, com se'm trenca el cor; escolto com a vegades era maliciosa, barroera, bleda i fins i tot cruel, implacable  i mal educada. Escolto profundament avergonyida la pitjor versió de jo mateixa, una persona que ni tan sols reconec.
