Just Don’t Give Up, Man

Jessica Coyle/ 2 Comments/ 3206

This has been a year of humbling defeats in a lot of ways. Doors I thought were wide open to me have closed. I’m sure there are windows opening left and right in response, but when you feel like you’ve taken a fall the thought Continue reading →

Jeongmina Kim/ Leave a Comment/ 2772

I’m a winter person. I like bundling up in a warm sweater and sipping hot cocoa and snuggling and all that good stuff. I can still like summer for what it’s worth, though, mosquitos and all! I’m going on a lot of first dates these Continue reading →

Thanking Gender Fluidity

Jessica Coyle/ 2 Comments/ 4346

When I’m not writing for Mesh, I tutor at a university. Most of my clients are fashion students. Hey guess what! Suits for men haven’t changed, like, at all in 100 years. Other than that dude at the far left, any of these guys could show Continue reading →

Jeongmina Kim/ Leave a Comment/ 3763

Oh my God! I’m sick of dating! Nooooo. No that’s not true. I’m sick of dating guys who don’t really excite me beyond some nice arms or kissy lips or something. I did have a really nice date recently! “Sam” and I ate some Greek Continue reading →

No, I Don’t Have Kids. Yes, My Life Has Meaning.

Eric T. Hillery/ 2 Comments/ 3883

Taking a Break to Grieve

Jessica Coyle/ Leave a Comment/ 2934

My siblings and I didn’t expect my dad to die the day before Thanksgiving. We expected him to die, of course. We weren’t ignorant of the definition of a terminal disease. He’d die, but at some remote distant day. We’d have lots of warning. He’d Continue reading →
