Chelsea Fagan's Blog: Whatever The Weather →
faganchelsea:
It’s beautiful out. Hot, even. It’s the kind of heat that, without being oppressive, surrounds you as a jacket might over your sleeveless top. It feels good.
And after so many months of limp, soggy rain and not-quite-coldness that left you feeling sticky in the jacket you couldn’t take off,…
Pretty.

Internet Curation, pt. 1
This person I used to know when I was a teenager now lives in Korea with his fiance. Almost every day he posts pictures on Facebook of them riding their bikes, eating food, and being fashionable and so so cute. I know the whole thing is curated, and nothing is 100% as it seems through the lens of the internet (hey, nobody has to know I ate a McDonald’s cheeseburger last night…) but...

Why I Write (About Love).
I write a lot about love and relationships and boys and dating, and sometimes it nauseates even me. I mean, is there anything more cliché than a young woman typing away about trust and intimacy and the pros of good communication? Gross! The thing is, I write about all that gushy stuff because it is a huge part of my identity, my story, and my livelihood. I’ve been dating for longer than I’ve...

The 5K Playlist
Okay, I know I said I was going to do this a long time ago, but I’ve been busy (sort of)! Anyways, this is THE list I have been training to, and the one I will be using on Saturday for the race (though Geoff says he will run with me and talk to me - ew). It’s pretty Top 40, but hey, that’s what get me jazzed and I’m just doing me!
Anyways, presented in order and without...

Sex With Girls
So I wrote a thing about sex on THAT SHOW, but decided we were all feeling a bit of fatigue, and to only share part of it with you. Maybe this is the new way I write in general, just glimpses into much longer things that no one else gets to read. Editorial foreplay, if you will. Or won’t.
In slight contrast, Marnie is almost having the opposite issue. Her long-term boyfriend is so...

Re: "The Downside of Cohabiting Before Marriage"...
In Meg Jay’s April 14th New York Times Op-Ed, she examines the rise of young people cohabiting together before marriage, and what it means for the future of committed relationships. As someone who has cohabited with a couple boyfriends, and considered cohabiting with a few others (only to realize that I couldn’t see myself with this person next month, let alone for the next 50 years) I had mixed...

Are You Important? →
As a matter of fact, the questioning only increases when I start to examine my privilege, my eagerness to try and do and fail and keep going. Gosh girl, you got so many opportunities, why aren’t you someone Important yet?

Friends! I am running my first 5k! Wanna donate? →
I am running a 5k in 17 days. So far, I can only run 2 miles without wanting to die. I know this is going to be hard, but I am IN IT TO WIN IT. Your support will make this even more rewarding - also, it will lessen the chance of me giving up. I wouldn’t want to let you down!
XO,
Caitlin
