I do not have an awesome subway post, but enjoy my experience riding a bus from NYC to Syracuse, NY. This is a DM twitter conversation I had with a good friend of mine: Me: Dude across the aisle from me is watching some OH WOE IS ME FOR I AM A WHITE BOY…

Relationship Talk
“I think we need to break up,” Farley said. “Why?” Matt looked stunned. “I thought everything was going great.” “You know what I look like when I come.” “You know what I look like when I come?” Matt relaxed a fraction, confusion mixing with amusement as he realized this was not a real breakup conversation….
Swallowing Down Her Pain
She looks like she is swallowing down her pain one sour and bitter mouthful at a time, her eyes downcast, holding her red (p)leather purse with black polka dots tightly. Her left hand is wrapped around the handle and her right is curled under the bottom, securing it in her lap. Her coat is a…
Wax on, Wax Off
Farley was a low-maintenance kind of girl and she liked that about herself. It didn’t take her three hours to get out of the apartment in the morning and she didn’t spend half of her paycheck on beauty supplies. Makeup was typically a once a week occurrence reserved for the days when the stars aligned…
Dear Fellow Feminists and Everyone Else
Dear Fellow Feminists and Everyone Else, Happy International Men’s Day. I am saying that un-ironically and hope that you can, too. There are a lot of people out there denigrating this day because “isn’t every day men’s day” and “this is like having a white history month.” Yes, if International Men’s Day applied to only…
Pale Eyes

Hockey Player and the French Person
His gear bag is bigger than him and quite possibly might weigh more than him. He could fit inside the gear bag easily. He holds a hockey stick in his left hand, the blade up in the air. Navy blue, windbreaker exercise pants with three red stripes on the outside of each leg. Light brown…

Adulthood: You suck. Regards, Mid-twenties

Dear Me
Dear Me, Congratulations! You finished another year on this planet and are about to embark on another one. You survived. You did not kill anyone for chewing too loudly on the train. You did not punch anyone in the face for not taking off their fucking backpack on the train. And you still have all…
Text Message Panic
Farley had never dated someone who was emotionally in touch and affectionate. She didn’t really understand how to react to cute text messages and spontaneous hugs and kisses that weren’t necessarily a prelude to sex. So the first time Matt sent her a text that read had to deal with so many idiots today. made…
