My Dad Liked To Boil A Squirrel

In Moments When I Question If I Should Be Having Kids, I Think Of All Those Phone Calls From My Sister-in-law, In Which, 3,000 Miles Away, I Hear My Nephews Screaming For Her Attention. I Tell Her I Have To Go Because I Am Packing To Leave For Europe, And Her Tone Flatlines: "that Must Be Nice."

To Be Thin And To Stay Really Thin, Sometimes Some People Literally Do Coke All The Time. Some People Smoke Cigarettes Instead Of Eating. That's Crazy. But That's 'okay' Because You Look Healthier.

I Was Born To Be Married. I Just Feel Comfortable There. I Love The Idea Of Being Partnered For Ever. I Love My Girlfriend, We've Been Best Friends Since I Was 18. There's Not A Thing We Haven't Been Through Except For Marriage... We've Had Talks About What We Would Name Our Kids Since We Were In Our 20s.

I Was Overcome By The Holy Ghost One Time, But In A Baptist Way. I Was Six Or Seven, And I Was Saved. I Just Cried And Cried. It Was Joy!

This Archaic Idea - That A Woman Who Is Unmarried And Childless At 30 Is Somehow Unnatural - Will Probably Always Exist, And, Like Most Social Standards, It Is Ridiculous.
