Photo reblogged from Things I Ate That I Love with 65 notes

thingsiatethatilove: “All this time, I’d been regarding my single life as a temporary interlude, one I had to make the most of—or swiftly terminate, depending on my mood.

Perhaps I could actually get down to the business of what it means to be a real single woman.” Kate Bolick, All The Single Ladies, must-read. (hyperlink metacommentary mine not hers, of course. Of the many broken-clock-right-twice-a-day things SATC nailed, Being On A Magazine Cover Is Inevitably Weird might be my favorite). ladies being ladies, etc.
