Making Decisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are decisions easy for you? Hard? Are SOME easy and SOME hard? Emily and I bravely admit that making decisions is a necessary factor of adulthood. Maybe we just don't want to be adults?

Can you read simultaneous books? DO YOU EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC EVER? Also: Are you guy

Some of my favorites include this essay by fitness and exercise writer Anna Maltby and this incisive analysis by Mallory DeMille . In her book, Lee Tilghman wrote about how the wellness influencer economy exacerbated her tendency towards restriction, tracking, and disordered eating. Not even a year later, her online presence is effectively rewriting this thesis. In Tilghman's "method" launch , sh
