I'm so excited for that! The crazies left too early and it's been really dull.

I did do the right thing! All it took was a good night's sleep to realize.

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." - Zora Neale Hurston

I know - but this one gave me The Feeling.

Please tell me I did the right thing. I just told the mister that I can't hang with all the pot smoking - I was willing to compromise but he couldn't give as much as I need. I'm so sad and I already miss him so much. Everything else was so great. So great.

"It was a pleasure to meet you but I just don't think we're a good match. I wish you the best."

I know this is gonna sound like some hippie jive nonsense but you should google the oil cleansing method - it's basically a combo of castor and jojoba oil with a hot washcloth. That shit has changed my life. My face was an unmitigated disaster and I had spent hundreds of dollars on treatments and prescriptions and…

Maggots are the worst thing that has ever happened in the history of the universe.

Uh, I think I might have something that's like a boyfriend. It's been YEARS since I've been in any kind of relationship but he gives me the The Feeling and we've been able to comfortably navigate some incompatibilities already. I feel like this might not work out because sometimes things just don't work out but we…

My go-to wedding present is a gift certificate for a very nice restaurant in their town. Usually $150 or $200 and more than one couple has used it for the first anniversary dinner.

Yup. I'm ready for this to be the very end. But frankly, I want to force him to make the choice. My plan of attack is: I don't think we should hang out anymore because I really like you and I'm gonna end up sad if we do because this is a dealbreaker for me and I don't think it's reasonable to ask you to change. …

He smokes pot. I don't objectively have a problem with that but with my personal history, I don't want it in my life. My dad was a dealer and was killed over drugs when I was 14. It's not him, it's me. But I 100% won't compromise on this - it's just one of those things that makes me feel less safe in the world.

I know! I HATE the Talk but the Talk is about his drugs and I am worried that my drunkness is going to really undermine my credibility in this conversation. And also, there are fruitflies in my wine.

Ugh. I need tonight to have a Talk about my Relationship and so I had some wine and now the Talk is delayed and I'm just getting drunker and I don't think this is going to turn out well.

That's sad. I remember being so charmed by a guy who told me about taking his first girlfriend out to Sizzler and feeling like a real man after growing up without much. I found it incredibly endearing.

I am a conventionally attractive white woman with a law degree, great job and a very nice life. I was raised by a single teen mom who was an addict, my dad was abusive and was killed in a drug deal when I was 14. Of my three godsons, one was murdered on the street at 16 and another was sentenced to 54 years in state…

Pretty much but I figured that the side effects are minimal so if it makes him feel better, I'll do it.

I'll tell you - I was close. But I actually kinda like this kid and he's told me that he struggles with anxiety and social boundaries. He sent yet another text but this one telling me that he's worried that I'm not ok so I'd be a real dick not to respond only because he'd lose his mind. I set aside my natural…

It's not contraindicated so I'm not gonna stress it.

Ugh, I know. The thing is that I would have, of course, let him know that the coast was clear as soon as I took it because I understand that this is probably really stressful for him. I just wish that he'd given me the chance to respond on my own after the first reminder.
