In her book Marriage and Intimacy: A Proactive Path to Happily Ever After, author Tracie Sage says “Each bump or challenge in our intimate connections offers us a perfect opportunity to deepen our level of intimacy, while allowing us to grow and evolve both individually and together.” Intimacy can take many forms in a relationship,...
Red flags. They’re everywhere. Warning us that the person we’re getting involved with is bad news, no good, turn around, 0/10 do not attempt. And yet, we so often ignore them, like Twitter user @objsucks did: https://twitter.com/objsucks/status/1343311258783784967 She’s not alone of course. Check out these other doozies. 13. A...
I’ve been having one of those months that seems to just be absolutely full of brutal conversations. But I count myself lucky that none of them have been at the level of brutality presented in the screenshots of convos from these people on Reddit. Because holy crap. Laugh, cry, and wince along as we look through some taxing texts. 10....
I lived right near a spot of Lake Michigan beach for a couple of years in Chicago, and everytime I would stroll over there I’d take note of the flag. As anyone who lives near a large body of water knows, they use flags to signify the safety of being on the beach / getting in the water at that time. A yellow flag meant proceed with caution. A...
I saw a tweet recently that pointed out that we’re officially at the point where if your birth year starts with a “1,” you’re legally allowed to buy alcohol.

I don’t even know how it happened, honestly, but somehow I recently managed to lock myself out of my Twitter account. I can’t remember what series of events led to this self-sabotage. I’d changed the password, I’d forgotten it, I’d let Chrome pick a strong password for me but then I forgot to tell Chrome not to forget...

Like this tale from Twitter user @Coll3dnG, or rather, from her grandma. my grandma just asked me if i had a boyfriend and i was like “no” and she was like “well i went to a random funeral because i was bored and...
I’ve been trying to work out, but so far, it’s just not working out. And by that I mean I’m just not working out. I’ve been trying to work out why my work toward workouts haven’t been working out, but so far it hasn’t worked. Maybe if I work on working out some workout memes I can finally work out why my...
I have this friend who’s one of those body-builder types. He’s…huge. One I was working with my writing partner on a project that took us into some unfriendly territory and we brought him along for the express purpose of dissuading anyone around us from wanting to start anything. He is battle-deterrent stacked, is what I’m...
