Friday diary 32: Not being his girlfriend is easier

Not easy. But easier. And rewarding too.

It’d been almost a year since I’d seen Semi-Platonic Life Partner (SPLP) when I got the invite to debate in Portland. Since he’s usually already on the west coast, I invited him to spend a few days after the conference hanging out with me in Portland. 

It was a wonderful trip, though a hard one at times. Like the time I was crying in the strip club. (Devil’s Point. Travel tip: Check out Axel’s instagram to see when they’re dancing next time you’re in town.)
