Because there is no better way to distract yourself from being trapped on a non-moving train than thinking up imaginary book titles.

Learn from the best Christmas move of all time, and you won’t end up signing songs about heartbreak alone in a New York nightclub.

Read about one man’s quest into the world of New York City lit.

Learn from my mistake: Don’t think you’ll just casually pick up some cough drops at a big box retailer after Thanksgiving dinner.

Four months ago I visited my doctor for what I thought would be a routine checkup.

We actually had insane chemistry the moment we were introduced.

I have loved two black men.

This whole time I thought you were just some emotionless zombie who didn’t really care about me but I now know that’s not true. You don’t delete someone from your life if you don’t care about them.

By protecting everyone else all the time, I’m the one who’s becoming a raw nerve. I’m the one who’s becoming uncomfortable.

I don’t want to be your “catch up” friend. Please don’t turn us into this. I feel constantly pathetic and rejected.

You spend an inordinate amount of your time freaking out about the things you’re potentially missing out on but are too paralyzed by anxiety to do anything about it.

You can’t afford a shrink so reading your horoscope will have to do.
