‘Pamela, a Love Story’ Is No Curated Experience

My friend Brandon often tells me - “Miranda, society peaked in the ‘90s”. And sometimes he tells me he’s jealous I got to be a teenager and a young adult then and do all the stupidly cool things people did in the ‘90s. If you give me the option to be 20 right now, today…

The Two Men Theory

I often spend time deconstructing the absurdity of relationships. Yes, sometimes everything aligns for two willing souls to discover each other. Not one pulling, calling, texting, or planning; but both equally devoted to the cause of the other. Only, it’s a rare occurrence. We all heard about it, like some myth, there to actually…
