I have a confession. Whenever I read about how others got out of an age gap relationship unscathed I feel a tinge of jealousy, bitterness even. Why couldn’t that be me? I felt the same way for about a year after my dog died and I’d see people post photos with their dogs. It’s ridiculous and insane, but it’s the truth. Anyway! Now that I have that off my chest I want to say how much I love your writing and enjoy this Substack. Can’t wait for the memoir!
Love this one! Thank you for sharing. I have this same thoughts at 29 looking at the 21 year olds even. Now I see the bit of “upper hand” so to say that the older men I used to date had on me
Like you mentioned, this was a bit different than your typical essay, Hannah, but that didn’t make me like it any less - rather, added to the fire that is my BURNING desire for you to publish a book.
So well written, as always. Introspective, and so, so real. Love you!
Going through something similar right now and I found this immensely helpful. Please keep writing more of this—your perspective is so valuable and you write in a smart, approachable way.
“Lies are for the liar.” 🤌

I wish I had Moxie when I was a college freshman.
This gave me chills. I feel like it encapsulated dating in NYC for me.
An almost identical experience to my own. I only wish he would have just told me he found someone else. Instead I'm blocked on everything. LOL
