Lately, I’ve found myself steering clear of grownups who routinely carry giant backpacks or purses. 
 
There might be too much baggage for a healthy friendship. 

 
Seeing one photo is all it took for me to delete my phone’s Facebook app -- one photo thoughtlessly posted of my old love’s hasty new love.
 
I’m not tough enough.

I never understood men’s fascination with car wheels probably, in part, because I thought they were referring to the tires. That sensible rubber-soled automotive footing.
 
Then my mechanic admired my actual tires. I surprised both of us when I said, I believe in good tires and good shoes.
 
And then it all made sense. Swanky wheels gild the lily, they complete the outfit. Sometimes they are the whole reason for getting dressed. Just like swanky shoes.
