Want To Feel Like You Suck Less For A Second?

I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to read a story in the Times about a normal couple above the age of 30 in New York City who still rent. For something like a second — and no longer, but really, that’s all one can expect — the sense of failure is stripped away and you feel like you’re on the same footing as everyone else. Of course you’re not, but it’s so rare that it happens in the first place it seems worthy of noting. Anyway, blah blah blah something about gardening, I’m sure it’s fine.
