Our love is not ballads 
And love notes and sonnets: 
Our love is what we choose every morning
When you kiss my forehead before work. 
Our love is an endless array of dinners 
I make for you, waiting for you to come home
From work. Or the meals we make together. 
We indulge in this lovely 
Domesticity with each other. 
Feeding each other, body, mind and soul.
Love is what we choose
To make of it,
And I choose to love you
Every day.

    The other week, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who is a new father – we’ll call him Cronus – and we were talking about parental instinct. He lowered his voice conspiratorially, considered the infant in his lap and said, “Sometimes I love my baby so much that I want to eat him. Is that normal?” 

    Turns out, it’s not just normal–it’s science! Olfactory chemical signals–the smells of newborn babies have been linked to dopamine spikes in the brains of new mothers, essentially triggering the same neurological reward circuit activated when a very hungry person eats, or when a heroin addict shoots up…

    5 Ways to Avoid the Cliff of Contemporary Dating

    Valerie Presley

    I have a friend who dates online… a lot. You could say she’s popular. She gets out again and again because she’s fabulous–which is obvious, even through a screen. Yet she arrives each time preloaded with every personal detail about her date–their hometown, full legal name, and family history–often even their annual income and whether or not they rent or own. IT IS RIDICULOUS. The internet is a fantastic tool for writing a thesis, but should it be used to compose a 15-page, pre-introduction memoir on a potential romantic interest’s life story?…
