Hashtag Change
Hiiiii. It’s time for a life update. Where to even begin? I’ll start with an easy one.

Angela Chase Is My Homie
I’m always in my head. Whenever something big happens, I imagine Future Me reflecting on that very moment years later in full-on Angela Chase mode, narrating every furrow of the brow, out loud and angst-filled—all while I’m living it.

How to cross the street
You can tell a lot about a couple by the way they cross the street. On Saturday, I witnessed four coupled-up street-crossers in the span of about 30 minutes. That’s what happens when you’re strolling down Fifth Ave in search of the perfect suit. (The suit wasn’t for me, by the way. I spent most…
