Bathos
I subscribe to a daily email called A Word A Day, which sends me a new vocabulary word with a thoughtful quote each morning. On November 19, 2015, my word of the day was bathos.

Running In/Running Out
I run to acquaint myself with new places, and I run to say goodbye to the same places.

Things to be happy about
The croissant and latte I had this morning
This cafe plays The Weepies and Regina Spektor
I’m sitting next to the window while it rains
The leaves in Prospect Park yesterday
My wolf sweater and my gray paisley scarf
The future is full of potential, even if it’s terrifyingly unpredictable
To be hosted by Brenna in her totally mod Park Slope apartment
Watching Magic Mike XXL with Brenna last night
Listening to Andrea Bocelli right now
The broccoli, onion and mushroom stir-fry I ate for dinner last night
The glass of cab sav I had after dinner
This is my favorite part of my favorite Andrea Bocelli song
The rain stopped just in time for me to walk back to Brenna’s apartment for lunch
I have wonderful friends, even if they’ll be scattered across the country/world for the rest of my life
I’m 22 and it’s okay to not have a plan

The Insidious Myth of the Hairless Woman
Women should work hard to distinguish themselves as not-men. It needs to be immediately obvious at first glance whether someone is male or female, because men and women inherently deserve to be treated differently. Women are beautiful, and they should devote considerable time, money and energy to enhancing their beauty — in order to maximize their natural assets. A man is expected to work to enhance his natural physical strength and power, while a woman should work to enhance her natural beauty and charm.
