I still think about the version of us that almost existed. The longer one, the steadier one, the one we weren’t quite ready for. The almost-forever.

How People's Choices Turn Me On

Recently, I was thinking about how little intentional choices like this can create curiosity of my own in other people. It was one of the reasons I was so attracted to my previous boyfriend.

That’s My Type

Is it possible to think that someone is “my type” and then by some miracle I’m also “their type”? Is that how it works?

Is Ambition Cause for Termination?

The day I learned that success can threaten the people who depend on it.

“My office phone rang; it was HR.

I had never spoken to them outside my original interview. I didn’t even consider that they’d care - much less that they’d find out about a capsule being sold 7,000 miles away.”
