These are strange times, friends.
168: because you should lose control
I don’t typically on eavesdrop, but what The Bald Man at Starbucks said fucked me up good.
164: because marriage isn’t the point
If you think marriage is the end of your relationship (and not the beginning) you’re in for a real rough-fucking ride.
154: because (mis)information is our deadliest weapon
DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH
153: because IDGAF what my boyfriend likes
The rant continues: Why the fuck does nobody care what I think about my body?
149: because we are all just people
I first heard the mantra during freshman year. My pre-college self would have been all Fuck that shit, but my then-college self was on the losing side of depression and self-harm, and she was ready for answers.
148: because you can be as picky as you damn well please
Maybe it’s the remnants of my bossy childhood, or perhaps it’s because commitment scares the shit out of me, but I’m picky as fuck.
147: because you and I are always becoming
I refuse to accept that growing up means dissatisfaction. So, I wrote my own 10 Signs of Becoming because, spoiler alert, you and I are always becoming.
145: because you and I will (still) lose it all
It’s been a hell of a year. Pardon me while I lay it all out to dry.
143: because marriage is scary shit
It’s November 2015 and I already have three weddings scheduled next year. And I was in two this year. And I went to three last year.
In between bridesmaid dress shopping and the electric slide, I have to fight that destructive voice in my head asking, “Why aren’t you good enough to be getting married?”
