Someone Better Out There?

Afraid you're with the wrong person? It's entirely possible ...

Hello Wonderful. Breakups. Make-ups. Ball and chain. Romantic partnership is fraught with feeling (and non-feeling), exasperation, and unexpected delight. Come to think of it, not too unlike entrepreneurship. And as many startups fail, we continually shift focus to the ones that thrive through a combination of resilience, focus, luck, denial, and knowing what (and what not to) take seriously. Is your union, or lack thereof, making you feel like you're in a rut? Today's list is aimed at lifting you out. ISSUE #179 Love + Pride June 14, 2019 by Gina Pell + Amy Parker   "Love loves to love love."   - James Joyce   THE WHAT LIST 100% Editorial picks. No pay for play. Ever.   The Watch. Why You Will Marry The Wrong Person is a thought-provoking op-ed by the witty (adorably quirky) essayist Alain de Botton that addresses the fallacies of mind reading soulmates and the notion that we are the easier person to live with. Watch with your partner. Maybe you'll both learn something. Not that we need to learn anything. We're perfect.   The Spread.   Tired of laying out the same ho-hum cheese plates and crudité platters? Up your party game with this rainbow hack we found on A Cup of Jo, one of our all-time favorite sources for creative inspiration.   The Learn.   School's out and summer is underway. Looking for something to do with bored kids, friends, or all by your lonesome on a lazy summer day? We got sucked into this watercolor class by Yao Cheng on Creativebug and were amazed at how easy it is to make something beautiful. Framable even.   The Laugh.   It's our job to tap into the zeitgest and know what's trending on the interwebs.

But, when pressed to name our Top 3, we had to let the cat out of the bag. If you only have time to read a few books this summer (or this year), make it these.
