The only occasion in which it’s best to be egotistical is when you wonder whether your partner loved someone more deeply than you in their past…
“I am so sorry
for the staggering burden
that is loving me.”

BEST article on abortion I’ve ever read. Honest and moving.
RIP
Last night, around 10pm, while I was working at the bar, a man walked in - very slowly, cautiously, almost. He was staring at me, creeping in. He didn’t walk toward the stools next to the bar or the tables in the back. He walked right toward me and stopped just short of actually coming behind the bar.
I went up to him and said hello. He looked scared. Slowly, words came out of his mouth:...

Freeing or Restricting?
I’ve been without a phone now for exactly one week - after I accidentally dropped it in the sink with sanitizer at work last Saturday night.
At first, I felt liberated. Later, I felt panicked and frustrated when I couldn’t access it to figure out things that i would have with it before. Now, I’m just anxious to get it back to be able to get in touch with those I’ve been...

And Then They Were Gone
Do you ever get lightheaded and literally weak in the knees (and everywhere else) when you receive particularly angering and shocking news?
I feel like I’m going to pass out.
It’s so hard for me when great friendships go out the window so quickly.
Flashback
I ran into the former Residential Assistant of my freshman residence halls today while I was out running errands with my partner in our neighborhood. I haven’t seen Dan in years and I found out he lives only two blocks away.
We got along well enough back in college because we had good conversations and I respected his artistic efforts but I vividly remember him randomly telling me back then...

10 Rules for Brilliant Women →
1. Make a pact. No one else is going to build the life you want for you. No one else will even be able to completely understand it. The most amazing souls will show up to cheer you on along the way, but this is your game. Make a pact to be in it with yourself for the long haul, as your own supportive friend at every step along the way. 2. Imagine it. What does a ...

Speak No Evil
Have you ever been haunted by a saying?
Maybe it was something a profound philosopher said. Or your father. A teacher, even.
The words that haunt me were said by a friend. She didn’t know it at the time but her words would soon apply to me. I say that it haunts me because her words terrorize me and taunt me. I repeat them in my mind on the bad days. The days when I’m made to feel...

I'm terrified
of leaving the secure job I have now. It may only be as a bartender but I rake in quite a bit of dough for the amount of hours I work and my boss really likes me and needs me, from what I can tell.
But I can’t do it anymore. I’m sick of the people - they’re getting really comfortable with me and abusing my generosity while giving me nothing monetarily in return. I want my...
