As I stood there, clenching the basket and fighting the urge to drop it on the ground and walk away, I realized my closet was a reflection of how I felt about my life: out of control. A year earlier, I had discovered my husband’s long-time affair and while we had committed to fixing our marriage, bipolar depression had settled into my bones, and my body physically ached as much as my brain....
He wasn’t what most people would think of as hot, but I found him incredibly attractive with his geeky yet cute face. I considered this ability to see his not-obvious hotness as my superpower and was convinced that it proved we were meant to be together. I’m not sure I can call him my ex as he wasn’t technically my boyfriend. I didn’t know where he lived and he never met my family, but he was definitely more than a booty-call....
When my wife Meygan and I got married, I honestly thought our love would never fade. There was so much passion in our relationship that we must have been on some kind of love high. Remember how sweet and passionate things were when you were first dating? I’m sure those days included a lot of handholding, kissing, cuddling, date nights, surprises, gifts, and dreaming together. Those were the days when you couldn’t get enough of each other and wanted to spend every waking moment in their arms....

My brother and I still follow this childhood habit half a century later. To us, yoga and meditation are like brushing your teeth and cleaning your tongue. You just do it and don’t think too much about it. When you don’t brush your teeth, your mouth feels a certain way and you know the world can wait and you shouldn’t have skipped brushing your teeth and so you go do it....

I told you I hated you and you didn’t believe me. You didn’t say anything but I could tell you were questioning it. It was the way your face changed. Almost like my statement was a challenge or a puzzle for you to try to solve. I said it jokingly, of course. You had been picking on me the way boys do when you first start dating. It’s like the teasing that is cute because you know they aren’t doing it to be mean or hurt you....
I’m in my mid-thirties, have been wearing makeup half my life, and no longer feel the excitement, but rather apprehension, upon realizing I need a new tube of $30 mascara (that sh*t is expensive!). Somewhere along the way, makeup started to feel like a chore, much like brushing your teeth or taking the trash out, something I did on auto-pilot, because well, I felt I had to. Not anymore. A few months ago, I made the decision to go an entire month without makeup: no lipliner, no mascara, no foundation, NADA....

If this is the case, and you and I had a conversation, there might be several ways in which you are unclear. You probably don’t realize that you have poor communication skills. I’ve been you.

Life is short. Without a doubt, you’ve heard that before. It’s both the shortest and the longest thing you will ever do. So why not spend it with someone you love? Too often, we’re afraid to be honest. We’re afraid to tell people how we feel. We’re afraid of the outcome. But what if we weren’t afraid? What if we left behind the fear of rejection? The fear of ruining a friendship....

The trial has become a central issue in debates around misogyny, the lasting impacts of MeToo, and the realities of domestic abuse. Although these debates have been controversial, unforgiving towards both Depp and Heard and, at times, lacking nuance, the publicity of Depp’s claims may have one key positive impact. The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial could be a turning point for male domestic violence survivors. When Depp, a man associated with fame, power and success, openly declared himself a victim of domestic violence he probed an issue that has long silenced male survivors....
