I’m going to begin with a personal anecdote: My birthday is July 2. This means that it falls on one of the most popular weekends of the year to flee town: The 4th of July. Every single year, I receive strings of texts from my friends about how they won’t be able to do anything […] More
When I was little, every single morning, my mom couldn’t get me to wear anything but dresses. If she tried to force me into anything but a dress while I was getting ready for school, I’d resort to tears and a tantrum and pouting until I was back into my preferred clothing of choice. Why […] More
