The last thing I intended to do was restart my blog with a rant over another blog. But when I saw the title of a Vogue.com article shared on Twitter a few weeks ago, my biscuits became quite burned. “How Did I Become the Last Single Person In My Group?” A.k.a., “Mid-30s and Single: Did …
It goes without saying. I hate down days. What are down days? Down days are those times when you get into your own head over something trivial and stupid. Maybe you forgot something at the grocery store, and now you’re going to be late to a party. Or maybe a friend didn’t call you when …
