The “Date a Girl/Guy who (quantifier)” essays are getting old.
I liked the initial idea, of finding someone that travels, takes photographs, writes, reads. It really is a nice concept. To date a person who travels because they’ll bring into the relationship what they absorb from exploring other cultures, who writes because you’ll have awesome poetry inspired by you, all of that. It’s a novel idea, using someone’s passion as a basis for seeing them, but using the same basis, we can quantify anything. Date a guy who beats you, because it’ll make you stronger surviving it.

Yesterday, in my daily Buzzfeed scan, I came across this article, of Sara Bareilles helping two couples propose (found here). It, quite honestly brought me to a few tears.

Don’t forget to breathe
One thing that I realized after I was looking at old Throwback Thursday posts the other day, is that I’ve been working for 7 years. Seven years! I mean I know I’ve been working for a while, but I didn’t know that seven would pass by so fast. All those hours of clocking in, staring at the screen, running around training, making sure all my to dos are done, really have made me accustomed to the working life, and with my current job, actually find fulfillment in it. I love what I do, and like a bourgeois, 28 year old nerd, I am not afraid to say it. That said,…
