It took me a moment to realize what was happening. I felt tingly in places I didn’t know existed!

When you realize you hooked up with someone who voted for Trump

It’s not something I tell my friends about anymore. I don’t want to see disapproving faces. I just want your mouth on mine.

When I tell a stranger about a favorite memory, I’m inviting him back to life for a moment.

Combined with relatively clean eating, lots of water, and my very underwhelming work out routine, I lost 6 pounds and felt more like Me again.

Stay single until you meet someone who supports your dreams. Someone who owns a sleep laboratory and hooks you up nightly to brain imaging tools.  

You have the coordination of a drunk person when you’re 100% sober.

Because at 2 am, last call was just announced and, these days, goodbyes are a little too reminiscent of death.

Anxiety looks like my hands. Chaotic. Messy. Sort of gross, if we’re being honest.

Patience, hard work, compassion. You encompassed these traits early on.

You scream at me for all the poems. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. 

The best part of covfefe is it can be whatever you want it to be! A noun, a verb, song lyrics, a state of being.

IT WAS A PARTY FULL OF DOGS!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

In this version, I pick up the phone and our hearts stutter in unison. Nothing is left unsaid. Nothing is left untouched.

The daughter of the troop leader was drunk with power.

Lovers leave. Significant others screw up. This person wasn’t supposed to. This person was supposed to be your safe place.

Someone who loves dogs. This summer 2K17, we’re going to legit hang out at dog parks.

You learned how to be strong by watching her.
