A Father's Day Tribute: To All My Fathers

Got Empty Cup Syndrome?
I see you, sis. You’ve spent so much of your life giving yourself to other people that when you do anything for yourself, it feels like you’re stealing. You feel so unsettled when you can’t respond to a text message immediately or take a call because you’ve been so available for so long. And now when you’re too busy to attend to someone else’s needs, or too tired, not only are
Procrastination Station
Why do now what you can put off until tomorrow? That, my friend, is the question a serial procrastinator such as Yours Truly asks pretty much daily. Whatever the task at hand might be, must it absolutely be done immediately? “Because I tend to work really well in a high-pressure situation” is the lie I often tell. In my defense, I believed it to be the truth. But with some grow
Dear Hopeless Romantic
Don’t believe the hype, sis. Don’t let them sell you a lie. True love still exists. Real, committed, “you and me” kind of love. The twenty-first century will try to convince you that the safest way to love is not to love at all. Casual hook-ups and meaningless sex are the way to go.

Dear Average
I see you out here living your best regular life, working your regular job, having your regular dinner in front of a regular TV show, and going to your regular bed in your regular pyjamas. You don’t identify with the hustle culture so highly praised on social media. You’re quite content to clock in and out at your 9-5 and have your regular weekends to yourself. You have no wild

TWSC Discussions: Can you Disagree without Judging?
Every woman has a story. We may disagree with her choices, but many poor choices are fueled by pain. A few years ago, a story was submitted anonymously to one of our contributors. In her story, the woman detailed how she became the other woman. At first, I struggled with it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to post it on TWSC.
