Not a Lobster
I believe that every couple should have a go-to fight, something to bicker about that doesn’t really matter to either party. It lets you get the feisty out without hurting feelings. Ours was my grandmother’s copper lobster mold.

Such Pretty Red Flags
He did me wrong, but I did me wrong, too. I braided his red flags into my hair like ribbons, wore them with the same pride I had worn his jacket, because they were his, and I believed he was mine.

I know there can be no peace for him while this psychotic little drama gremlin is in his life. It is a little unfair, though, that it doesn’t seem like I’ll have any peace until she’s out of his life either.

I’ve Lost a Friend
It finally clicked for me. I was fighting so hard to stay friends with this person who I didn't even like. I've seen behind his mask and I am not impressed.

A Woman Scorned
I couldn’t swallow any more anger down. I tried. I still needed my friend, but I also needed some space between myself and the ongoing pain having him in my life caused. When I finally took a step back it was like stepping off a landmine. Kaboom.

Late night texts after the break up hit very differently. I had to deal with him texting, “I miss you,” as he built something with someone else.

Miles From Nowhere
“If you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station. The longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be.” Breakups let you off at that nearest station. I still didn't know where I was going, but at least I wasn't on the wrong train anymore.

Without Him
I tried to go to bed without him, but the thought “without him” coagulated, forming a lump in my throat. I was used to going to bed without his body next to mine, though not in this room.

As a broke young adult living with my boyfriend Planned Parenthood was an absolute lifesaver. They provided free effective birth control (why I never needed an abortion). More than that though, they were the only place I could afford treatment when I had problems like UTIs and strep throat.

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide.
In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care.
It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.
