The Magnolia Chronicles

My mother's New Year's resolution for me was simple: make a serious effort at putting myself out there and dating again, and do it for one full year. <br /><br />Or until I fell in love. Whichever came first. <br /><br />How hard could one year of swipes and matches and awkward first dates be? <br /><br />In a word: bad. <br /><br />In nine words: bad and also hilarious, demoralizing, exhausting, and ridiculously amusing.<br /><br />But the only thing worse than dating in the era of hookup apps and unsolicited dick pics is the absolute whole-life-flail of falling in love.<br />
