My Next SO

Something made me realise I don’t even know how I want my next boy to be. What an idiot Em. It’s been a singly single single special year. I can’t believe I never thought of myself in this plane of thinking. Single. Unsingle. I’m using unsingle because taken is way too patriarchal for me.But coming back to the point.

I mean, how does it matter to someone not integrally connected to the person?  Why do we have such strong opinions which we advocate and then have nothing better to do than shove them down other people’s throats all the while maintaining we’re non judgmental people?  I recently came across someone who w...
