I’d be more of a morning person if I woke up next to you

Sean got hired at a great lab, which will enable us to finally get an apartment together.

It’s our anniversary… I couldn’t have asked for a better present. Three years strong, and today is the first day of the rest of our lives. 

Baby, I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time,

maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you.

Baby, I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song,

you right me when I’m wrong,

maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you.

On being lovesick.

It’s a strange thing, how you can love somebody, how you can be all eaten up inside with needing them — and they simply don’t need you. That’s all there is to it, and neither of you can do anything about it. And they’ll be the same way with someone else, and someone else will be the same way about you and it goes on and on — this desperate need — and only once in a rare million do the same two people need each other.

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with

Someone called me for relationship advice at midnight and because I am a human being who runs on sleep, I had to move things along

  • Friend: It's just... I don't get it, ya know? It's like--
  • Me: Does he make you happy on purpose?
  • Friend: What?
  • Me: Does he make you happy on purpose? Like, when you talk about how great he is you're telling me he's good looking and has a secure job. Does he go out of his way to intentionally make your life better? Does he enjoy your joy?
  • Friend: ...I don't know?
  • Me: There's your problem.
  • Friend: I don't think that's fair.
  • Me: Sorry, but the people who love you on this planet are the ones who want to see you live your best life. Who take time out of dealing with their own shit to clear away some of your shit. And vice versa. That is love. If he doesn't make you happy on purpose then it's just abs.

The first day that Sean’s away always takes a little adjustment.

First, I wake up by myself and cook my own breakfast. I don’t like this because Sean makes much better scrambled eggs than I do. 

Then, I spend all day reminding myself that I can’t text him because his phone doesn’t work overseas. Sometimes I facebook message him. Other times I tell myself to stop being a pussy, this is only temporary. Suck it up.

Around dinnertime, I realize that I can make whatever kind of chick food I want. Sean won’t be there to request pork chops with a puppy face. I make some kind of chicken-pasta-veggie concoction, then just stare at it for a while and dump it. 

Then I just watch TV for hours. 

… And you know what? I don’t like being by myself for that other stuff, but I’d do it all alone every day if it meant I didn’t have to be the only one in this goddamn bed right now. 

It’s always fine by the second day, when I’m ready to go out with my friends and enjoy my lady freedom, but holy shit the first day sucks.
