Stop Calling Your Children 'Josh'
Dear expectant mothers, fathers, or people otherwise considering changing their names, I am writing to you regarding the present name crisis stemming from the overuse of the name 'Josh'.

It's downright inconsiderate of you. Why? Well, where do I begin?

Is some love so strong, it never dies? You engage in a whirlwind, mind-blowing, spine-tingling, breathtaking love affair and relationship. After several months or years, you realize you're not compatible and break up.
Jonathan Morris SchwartzPublished 16 days ago in HumansFor those dealing with the break-up of a 'situationship'
I have piles of journals all stacked in boxes and placed neatly around my tiny apartment. Years of turmoil fill the pages. Angry chicken scratches that detail my financial woes, but predominantly, nearly every page is littered with details of my love life.

I met her for the first time in third grade. Little me found an empty spot at the back of the classroom right next to her. I was sure she didn’t like me. In third grade, she would have thought I was a bitch. And that’s how all great friendships begin.

The Day My Dress Did Not Impress
The other day, in a fit of romantic generosity, my husband bought me a dress. That’s not quite as reckless as it sounds.
