I review my three boyfriends, the three men I slept with in my twenties, searching for a common thread. Nothing. No consistent features, coloring, stature, personality. But one theme does emerge: they...
I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back.
I know by now that you can’t control your life, no matter how hard you try. That inevitably people leave and disappoint and die. But there is one constant, one thing you can always count on: that not...
I guess she's been like this since her arrival here, maybe even our whole lives, but sometimes when you know someone well, you don't see them as they really are. So I honestly think I've managed to ig...
I don't love him, period. I didn't love him before this. I cared about him. And I wanted to love him. Maybe I could have grown to love him. But those feelings just weren't there. I liked the idea of h...
I decided that giving a girl a ring when you're not in a serious relationship is sort of like giving a guy a blow job when you have no real feelings for him. It makes everything feel a little cheap.It...
Guys aren't so different from us, I think, which no matter how many times I think it will always seem like a remarkable revelation.
Cuando tienes una relación, eres consciente de que se puede acabar. puede que os distanciéis, conozcáis a otro o simplemente que dejéis de estar enamorados. Pero una amistad no es un juego de suma cer...
But at the time, I honestly didn't think I was hurting anyone, not even myself. I didn't think much at all, in fact. Yes, I was gorgeous and lucky in love, but I truly believed that I was also a decen...
But I have learned that you can't just create your own timetable and will it to come true.
Because sometimes I have the feeling that everyone thinks that everyone else is living a fairy tale. Especially in the South. People fake things so much. Put on a happy face and show off your perfect...
As I’ve said many times, the only way to stay trim is to eat bacon.
And without Dex in my life, I like to think I could have somehow found contentment. But the truth is, I feel freer with Dex than I ever did when I was single. I feel more myself with him than without....
And so I do, with Gabe’s help, feeling as scared as ever about the uncertain journey ahead, but also at peace. I know by now that you can’t control your life, no matter how hard you try. That inevitab...
And like a favorite old movie, sometimes the sameness in a friend is what you like the most about her.
And I love the beret. Just glad that it wasn’t raspberry. Or from a secondhand store, he deadpanned. Although I would love to see you in it. And if it was warm…
A son is a son 'til he gets a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all her life.
That hard work, honesty, and integrity always paid off in the end, while skating by on your looks was somehow an offense. And like that day playing psychiatrist, I occasionally worried that she was ri...
Hesitated, thinking of all the ways I could change the subject, then made a spur-of-the-moment decision that I was finished with small talk and surface conversation and diversions and lies of any kind...
