I wish I knew the language of hands. There are hundreds of words in the turn of a wrist, thousands in the trembling of fingertips. But there are dozens of interpretations for the clutching of a fist, the stretching of a finger - there are too many exceptions and not…

The other night on the phone with a friend I was talking about a dude that I’d dated for a while in 2011 and why it had ended, and the only way I could sum it up was, “I was tired of thinking he was an idiot, so I started treating him like an idiot.”
