I thought Katys song was about spit or swallow decision.

Me too, girl. (I don’t actually know if you’re female, but I stand by the phrasing!) My 1st anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks, and I’ve been thinking that same thing. Being married rules. Having a constant partner has made every part of my life better, and I’m so flipping excited that we get to hang out for…

—but enough about Tom Cruise—

Not alone! My first year was amazing. About to have our 15th. Sorrow and joy. But we continue to evolve separately and together. I look back on all those years, through existential and real crises (24 then, 39 now), and it truly is better and deeper and more delicious. The desert, when it comes, makes the ocean all…

I’m coming up on my 5th anniversary. I didn’t think the first year was as bad as everybody made it out to be, but I do think it’s gotten better since then. Surviving more shit together and coming out ok will do that :)

I kind of think people can change if they want to. If I hadn’t changed, I’d probably be on the road to divorce. I realized last year that my anxiety was slowly eroding my relationship, so I’ve spent this past year working on me. My husband similarly realized that I was never going to be anxiety-free, so he’s been…

The 7th or 8th year is the hardest, not the 1st. Sorry.

I’m coming up on my 1st wedding anniversary, and while there have been struggles, this has hands down been the best year of my life. I keep wondering if that conventional wisdom that the 1st year is the hardest is just total bullshit, or if I got super lucky. Or, was it only the hardest because in the past couples…

Communication - THIS. SO MUCH THIS. We’ve been married 31 years now, and most of our (infrequent) arguments were resolved when we figured out what each of us was trying to get across to the other.

Does this mean Putin went to Jared, too? I love it.

I’m a Marvel fangirl and a DC hater, frankly. All of DC is dark and broody, especially lately, and Marvel brings the snark. That being said, I’m dying to see this film. The previews look amazing. Let’s hope!

Every time I see this photo (at top) it creeps me the fuck out. It’s that “You are my world, my life, my all, I would DIE without you!” look. And him just drinking it in. Ugh.

I think Kendall is the most naturally beautiful, which probably made Kylies insecurities even worse since that’s her full sister. Even now side by side you can see Kendall is just effortless and Kylie is trying so hard.

Everyone knows when I’m releasing a product on Snapchat that I will be MIA for the next hour and a half.

Albert Brooks had a classic bit about FM DJ’s. he ranked them one above incurable lepers, but one spot below curable lepers.

Why are we supposed to hate her again?

“Dad even helps me apply the Chapstick. He says the best method is to put it on his lips first and then press them to mine to transfer it. He also uses this method to make sure I have plenty of it on my nipples as well.”

Idk if this is a consolation, but what happens with a terminal illness of this nature is that, by the time the patient is end stage and actively dying, they’re ready for it to be over. At that point, they’ve suffered a lot and there’s no quality of life left. Death is a release.

I say that all the time about people who learn they have a terminal illness. How do they even begin to process that information? And how do they continue to put one foot in front of the other, much less live out their shortened lives as courageously as Amy? I’m always awestruck by people like her. I’m certain I’d…

The young and ill are really quite remarkable. At least almost all of the ones that you know or read about. It’s as if, once you get to the other side of fear, and into either acceptance or steeled for the fight (and perhaps a bit of both), you get down to the brass tacks of being a much better person. A focused,…
