Letting Out Your Anger Is Not the Same as Letting Go

Or why punching pillows = bad. You may or may not already know this, but this is something I read today and it felt right to see it validated — that the old way of dealing with anger — of “letting it all out” — doesn’t, as it turns out…

You Have an Obligation to Get Good at Your Real Interests

There is something in this huge crazy world that calls to you. A skill, an interest, a talent. An odd thing or two that you can’t stop being curious about. A voice in your quiet moments. People may have told you you’re good at this thing but you dismiss them…

Progress: This Is How to Turn Your Dreaming into Doing

These days, I read books more slowly than I used to, and I enjoy them more. A friend had loaned me her copy of Essentialism a few months ago, and I took over a month to get through it. (This slowness was unimaginable to me even till last year, but…

Why a Silent Meditation Retreat Is the Worst Thing Ever

Just kidding, it’s not. I was at a 10-day Vipassana meditation course last month. Calling it a retreat is a stretch because someone literally comes and bangs at your door to wake you up if you’re not out of your room and on your mat by 5 AM. This is not a meditation retreat…

Being Single Is the Time to Fix That Empty Feeling

Even though things feel like they’re changing now, being single has long had a bad reputation. I have shared in this silly delusion, delivered through the movies I watched and the books I read as a teenager, promoted by my extended family and by innumerable cultural factors. As a young…

Lessons in Nonmonogamy

What I’ve learned from my polyamorous experiences in the non-Western world — Navigating nonmonogamy in any culture can be nerve-racking; navigating it in a conservative, non-Western country—as I have for the past two years—is like building a house with no blueprint. When things are going well, I think of myself as an explorer. Brave! Intrepid! Stepping into the unknown with one flower…

What makes a good man?

Typing this headline has made me question my qualifications to write about the “goodness” and therefore “badness” of men. I am emboldened, however, by years of reading men and listening to men going on about women, calling them simple-minded, vain, cruel, lovely, wise, foolish, made of marble (frigid), made of…
