“The commute is killing me,” I said, tears streaming down my face. My live-in boyfriend Jeff looked at me, puzzled. I couldn’t blame him.

What do you do when one of the things you used to like about yourself the most, looking back, becomes one of the things that you like about yourself the least? From as young as I can remember, a rocket ship of ambition propelled me forward in all that I did. I didn’t — and still […]
Roommates get a bad rap. And often, for good reason. I’ve had some seriously insane ones. There was the girl who made everyone leave their socks outside and the guy who left an imprint of his balls on our bathroom floor where he powdered them every morning. He was fun!

The other day, I was having lunch with a 65-year-old woman who was on a strict diet. She told me she needed to lose 10 pounds before she would feel like a real person again. She wasn’t letting herself buy any new clothes until she dropped a couple sizes. She loved fashion, but she wanted […]
