May Jeong is a magazine writer and investigative reporter.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t have kids, I don\u2019t have an expensive drug habit. Everything that I do right now at this moment in my life is to serve the story. That means that sometimes I\u2019m not the best partner. I\u2019m not the best friend. I\u2019m a really terrible daughter probably. If my parents had a satisfaction survey, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d rank really high. I have friends who are buying houses and stuff. I\u2019m very far away from that. What else have I sacrificed? I don\u2019t know. Sometimes I let my body atrophy because I\u2019m on the road all the time. I think I can do it for five more years. I\u2019m 30, so thing will have to change.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Casper, and You Can't Make This Up for sponsoring this week's episode.
