Well, folks, I survived my first day back at the gym after almost four months. My Apple Watch thought I’d been abducted because it hasn’t seen this kind of activity since May.

You know that place between thriving and unraveling? Where you're not exactly living your best life, but also not crying in the shower with a pint of Cookies n Cream? Welcome to the ‘Meh’ Zone.

I color-coded my trauma. But honey… …
Let’s be real: if anyone deserves a whole holiday just for existing, it’s Americans. Not the ones in stock photos gently flipping burgers in khaki shorts and tucked-in polos (bless them, though). I’m talking about the real, gritty, resilient, beautifully frazzled Americans who make this country tick. You. My husband. Your uncle who works overtime. …

Well well well, look who made it to Friday. Barely. But we're here. Lip gloss slightly smudged, iced coffee half-melted, and dignity… questionable. But here. And not just any Friday, darling—it’s the last Friday of the month. AKA the “I-swear-next-month-I’m-getting-my-life-together” kind of Friday.

A Detox Diary Full of Delusion and Dorito Cravings Let me set the scene: I woke up one morning, bloated from cheese fries and regret, and decided I was going to “eat clean.” I’d seen the girls on Pinterest with their green smoothies and glow-in-the-dark skin.
