What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I’ll admit something mildly scandalous (in the psychological sense, not the TMZ sense). I am deeply, profoundly envious of people who are oblivious. Yes, the blissfully unbothered, the cheerfully unaware, the folks who stroll through life as if chaos […]
I woke up Sunday morning to the familiar flicker-flash of my lights going out. Just boop. Total darkness. Then boop the lights came back on like nothing happened. At this point, Con Edison and I are in a toxic relationship. They gaslight me. Literally. But instead of spiraling […]
