If you aren’t straight, was there a public figure that made you realize this? My first memorable girl crush was Nigella Lawson, a British celebrity chef nearly twice my age.

Revealing my age here, but Meredith Baxter Birney when she was in Family Ties. I was just a kid then and all my friends were crushing on Michael J Fox as Alex Keaton… and all I could see was Elyse Keaton.

I'm not sure this counts but the L word. I watched that show religiously. Then it came out on Netflix and I binged it again. I felt seen, I felt loved, I felt included... I knew at that point I needed to find a life that was true to me.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.
