More often than I’d like to admit, I lose myself in the mire of an ex-boyfriend’s Twitter timeline.

Times When I Wish I Still Had a Boyfriend: 1. Upon encountering a six-legged creepy crawly in my kitchen when I get up to get a glass of water, barefoot and groggy, in the middle of the night; 2. After I finish work for the day and plop down on my couch with a glass of […]
