An ex used to not shower in the morning. Somehow she always ended up beautiful and smelled like roses by 8 AM-when I don’t shower in the morning my hair is a chaotic disaster, I smell like a dumpster fire, and I want to punch everybody. How the hell do you filthy animals do it?
Great article, Caroline. I ended a 3 year relationship recently, so this was therapeutic. It was hard, but it had to happen. I hate it when the right thing and the hard thing are the same. Thank you for the insightful writing.
This will be my first thanksgiving since my long-time ex and I split up. I’m dreading the questions and comments from my extended family, which will be evenly split between ‘I liked her-what happened?’ And ‘be single as long as you can’…the alcohol will be flowing hard.
This was too real. I love my good friends dearly, but we are spread out and none of them live within an hour of me. As a result, it’s just so hard to stay in touch with each other. When you find someone worth keeping around, you have to do something about it. Life pulls us in too many directions for everything to fall into place naturally.

Don’t do that. Let’s not worry about more than one Monday at a time.
The last girl I met up with from Tinder is still saved as ‘[name] from Tinder’ on my phone..

Holy shit. Now that I think about it..me neither. I could have been lying THIS WHOLE TIME

Ha. Self awareness is important!
Thursday night is basically a practice run for Friday and Saturday

Why not both?
You have eyes, presumably. Read it figure it out
You sound pretty awful.
Ugh. Luckily I live in a city where none of my relatives live so I don’t have to go through that. But I can imagine the struggle…
I’m using this. Thanks, Cube.

Similarly, in college my dad texted me literally every Friday afternoon ‘Don’t forget to study this weekend’. Sorry pop I had better things to do
Worst, most rage-inducing phrase of all-time.
