I’ve always been very dismissive of gambling… when it comes to casinos and betting your odds on arbitrary things like horses or Super Bowl predictions. It’s always felt like money just thrown down the drain. This is most likely because I’ve never researched how to win at it.

This year has been a tough one for me in terms of identity, and it runs the gamut from what it means to be an american, to a woman, to simply being human — a lot of layers.

Definitely feeling in a big RUT. And searching for something to work towards in my next decade. A newly minted 31, I’ve completed most of my goals I’ve set for myself, and now I’m a little bit lost.
👯
I finally am beginning to understand the importance in finding content that’s relatable or a mirror of your own experience. Lately I’ve been seeking out stories of similar experiences to my own to help me navigate emotions and feelings I’m having. Which I’m a little embarrassed to…
After watching the penultimate episode of the last season of Girls, I really appreciated how they reflected real life in that sometimes we have to realize some relationships are toxic for us, and it’s okay not to be “friends,” despite a long and storied history. It…
💔
We’ve had a good run the past 8 years. Well, that’s not totally accurate. I would not say GOOD. I remember our first confrontation, after a 6-month honeymoon (grace period), when my first bill was due. I remember the following few months, where your…

An excerpt from Bad Feminist:
Life introduces young people to situations they aren’t in no way prepared for, even good girls, lucky girls who want for nothing. …you lose your name because another is forced upon you.

I don’t ask for much, but I found this and it really resonated with me:
😶(not the mall)
I definitely feel like the last couple months of 2016 have been pivotal for me. I mean, not just me, the whole world, but in the scope of my life, I can see the path forking again.
😭
And I’ll never read it again. Shattered.

One of my biggest goals in my adult life has been to pay back my student loans. It’s been a huge albatross around my neck, squawking anytime I have extra cash or want to do something fun. In the past few years, it’s felt like it’s prohibited me from a…

I don’t know if something is wrong with me, but I don’t understand (and probably never will) dramatic people.
I don’t know what makes me so turned off whenever I catch a whiff of it. Maybe my mother, who had a flair for the dramatic (putting it…

To my oldest and dearest best friend,
Holy cow! I mean, seriously, Saturday you’re getting MARRIED and (to get cliché,) embarking on a new chapter of your life. When did life become so real? You’ve come a long way…

If my life had a tagline, it’d most likely be: “Hey, it could happen. Mick’s Wooooorld!” It’s applicable to both good and bad! Because my anxiety will never let me have peace of mind.
Just had a thought, the more and more I delay having a baby, the odds are I’ve missed meeting a cool little dude/dudette.
I am simultaneously terrified/excited about the idea of having a kid. I think my partner would make a GREAT! father, and…

This weekend I found out someone I’ve known for a super long time has been harassing people we used to know and their coworkers in a big way. I’d heard a while back that they were still up to their old pranking routine, and I assumed it was the same ole harmless shenanigans we got…
