for the messy ones

Ok, so this ModernLove column from the NYTimes is several weeks old at this point but I love it too much not to share! So much, in fact, that I have yet to throw out my actual paper copy of it, which I'm pretty sure is the exact opposite takeaway that a messy person should have after reading this lovely essay....HERM. Right now it's sitting in a pile of books and papers on the windowsill, getting a nice lovely fade from the divine summer sun we've been having. I'm sure my boyfriend wants nothing more than for me to throw it out. Oh well!

Anyhow, thank you Helen Ellis for writing this gem of a piece. A brief excerpt is below. Read it if you're messy. (Or even if you're not.) 

Yay! Newspapers! Essays! Helen Ellis! The Free Press!
