Sometimes coughing it out is the best thing to do. Remember getting that cough you couldn't get rid of, so every time it got quiet in class, you tried to stifle it, and you ended up coughing on you own air? Yeah. That's me. Callie Faith Anderson. Choking on my own air, just trying to get through high school in one piece. Friendless. Boyfriendless. Girlfriendless. It's just a matter of time before you see me on the news: "Girl chokes on air?" The full-nelson of life.
