PEACE AND QUIET
I Go To Bars Alone & I Don’t Tell Anyone ([link removed])

Sometimes, we all just need a break. Some moms hide in the bathroom; others take an extra 20 minutes in a parking lot somewhere. But Lauren Davidson has a trick that sounds pretty appealing: “Lately, when I need a break, I’ve been going to a bar, ordering a fancy cocktail and eating a snack in peace.

But you know what she didn’t do? “I didn’t try to cheer her up. I didn’t run off a list of all the things she should be thankful for. I didn’t tell her to do this or that in order to make herself feel better. And I didn’t tell her she’d feel better tomorrow or soon or next week.” And her reasoning makes a lot of sense — read it and see if you agree.
