More from Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People
Five years ago, this week's caller lost his 15-year-old son. Today, he's raising his 15-year-old daughter and navigating what it means to live with grief while continuing to move forward. It's a conversation about loss, love, and the complicated ways joy and sorrow coexist.

This week's caller works in video games. The first half of the call gets into the current state of the industry and what it's like building a career in something you love. Halfway through, this caller earns a spot on one of our favorite unofficial Beautiful/Anonymous lists: people with incredibly specific, deeply nerdy hobbies they have gone fully in on. This one involves a surprising degree of violence, but maybe an even more surprising degree of community.
It's this caller's birthday, and she has a lot to celebrate: a career she's crushing, a new house, and the chance to provide for people she loves. The conversation is funny and charming, and then the family stories start coming out. Every family has a little chaos, but hers might take the (birthday) cake.
A middle school Spanish teacher calls before first period to talk with Gethard about her deskless classroom, eating chocolate in front of her students, and finding an identity beyond teaching through slam poetry. Plus: a treacherous hike and an even more treacherous situationship.
