It isn’t every day that you get to sit at a table and have your past sitting across to your left, and your future sitting across to your right. That you get to watch them interact – exchanging music tips, debating politics, and trading laughs in the dark. That you watch your future buy your [...] Read More…
There comes a point in a serious romantic relationship when you feel it is appropriate to say three little words. Aloud. And to the person you are dating. Not just about him in passing. Or in emails to your mom. To the mirror, or in G chats with your friends as you freak out about [...] Read More…
