Some men want a woman; some men want a mirror — I was neither, and finally that's enough.

New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
My body isn't a request form he gets to revise quarterly.
He kept his wish; I kept my dignity — turns out only one of those grew.
It took years to understand that his fantasy wasn't about me at all, even when it wore my name.
Walking away from someone who wished you were else is the cleanest goodbye you'll ever earn.
The right person won't wish you different — they'll wish there were more hours in the day to know you.

More from today
I'm rebuilding from the studs up, and this time the blueprint is mine.
When his wish slipped out, my future answered before I did — and it said go.
Don't shrink to fit a wish that was never about your size in the first place.
He wanted a girlfriend; I needed to stop performing one — we were doomed by different needs.
There's freedom on the other side of being someone's almost — and I'm spending mine carefully.
I traded his maybe for my certainty, and the exchange rate was generous.
My worth was never up for renegotiation; I just forgot to tell him that out loud.
Today I stop being the consolation prize in someone else's daydream — and start being the headline of my own.
Here's to a new year where your laugh shows up uninvited and stays through breakfast.
May this year hand you fewer late nights worrying and more late nights you remember on purpose.
I want twelve fresh months of small wins beside you — the kind no one posts but both of us count.
New year, same conviction: choosing you is the easiest decision I make on repeat.
May the calendar treat you gently and the surprises arrive in your favorite color.
Here's to ordinary Tuesdays that feel like Saturdays because we spent them together.
Wishing you a year that fits like your favorite hoodie — soft, familiar, mine.
Let's stack this year with quiet wins, loud kitchens, and at least one ridiculous trip.
May every plan we make survive contact with reality and most of our roommate's interruptions.
I hope this year teaches you what I already know — you're absurdly easy to love.
Here's to fewer 3 a.m. work emails and more 3 a.m. conversations that go nowhere on purpose.
