They're understandable

I have plans with my couch, a loaf of garlic bread, and Wednesday Addams on Netflix

Let's face it: it's pretty damn easy to feel bummed when things get tough. Over the past few years, we've been looking for the proverbial light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. And each time we catch a glimpse of anything optimistic in the distance, it's canceled out by yet another terrible world event. At some point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a l…

He tried his best

It's easy to log into Twitter or read the news and think we are absolutely f*cked beyond belief. And you know what, you might not be completely wrong. The world really does seem as though it is going to hell, and it often seems like there is nothing we can do about it. But one of the most clutch things about being a human is our resilience, and our ability to try to make the best of situations. Sometimes, instead of trying to tackle the big things like world peace or climate change, you need to…

I hear that planning a wedding is difficult. Not just because there's so many people that are impossible to please, and not just because it's a timesuck. It's also expensive - which makes the already-agonizing task of crafting a guest list all the more difficult. Who, praytell, is worthy of your special day? Generally speaking, it's close friends, family, and maybe a few of your colleagues, and they receive an invite and respectfully RSVP accordingly. Recently, however, Twitter user @barrybingb…

Nobody is safe.

Nothing is off limits

Thanks in advance for keeping a hefty distance

The agony of being the third wheel is a well-documented one. I actually consider myself to be a professional third wheel. A professional tricycle modification, if you will. If I want to hang out, I'm going to hang out - relationships be damned. Not everyone has such an agreeable position regarding hanging out with people who are involved. And I get it. There's the PDA, the inside jokes, the baby talk. It can all get pretty unnerving. But trust me when I say that it could be much, much worse. Tw…

Entertaining is nothing new, but it's something I've done a lot more since the beginning of the pandemic. It's become something of a ritual with my friends. I whip up dinner, people bring wine, we laugh and then say our goodbyes until the next intimate soiree. The same is true for when my friends come by - either we each bring something to contribute (especially when we're whipping up pizza in the backyard) or we pool funds to order something if we are feeling lazy. Rarely, if ever, does money…

It started with a text and now her nail tech just wants her to find a nice husband.

It's pretty easy to feel discouraged when things get tough. Over the past couple years it feels like we've been looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Every time we start to glimpse something optimistic in the distance, it's quickly snuffed out by yet another terrible world event. At a certain point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a little self ca…
