The Year of Clinging to the Fantasy of Perfection

On OCD, mental health, and my desperation to be perfect “I don’t even like people who seem perfect,” I said to my two different therapists, on two different days. “I admire people who are kind of authentically messy, and have a sense of humor about it. So why do I hold myself to this standard that’s not only impossible but…

God, You Should Really Do Mushrooms Again

You find the aloneness interesting. You watch the sensation curiously, noticing that familiar dull ache burrowing somewhere deep in your stomach again, simmering underneath the heartburn from all that soda you’ve been drinking.

Your Dick Ain’t That Irresistible

There’s an episode of How I Met Your Mother in which the main character, Ted, brings the girl he’s dating to dinner with his friends. They all hate her, and he can’t fathom why — until they “spoil” her for him by alerting him to some annoying thing she does…

Someone’s Definitely Getting Murdered

I hate the summer. Every time I wake up to the summer sun blasting its oppressive rays into my bedroom, again, a little part of me shrivels up into a ball. Go back to bed, that part of me whispers; try waking up again tomorrow. No need to face the…
