Great post! I always go to my mom for advice and she makes it so simple when I make it so hard. I hate how she’s always right! Thanks for expressing it so well, while still allowing people like you and me to relate. I’m a new reader, soon to be continuous reader. Thanks!

Women need constant reassurance? Hey, speak for yourself, girlie.

You’re, what, 20something? Stop worrying, you’ve got plenty of time to burn on dumb boys. Have fun. Just don’t get a disease, and don’t get knocked up before you have non-marital property of your own, a good resume, that grad degree in hand, and money in the bank. Single motherhood would crimp you and your career something fierce.

I’d recommend taking the career somewhat more seriously.
