Dear Level
Breaking up is hard to do. Here’s how to handle it with dignity.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no matter how in love you are, there’s an expiration date on your relationship. Being with someone forever is a myth, a unicorn, the kind of thing you always hear about but will never see because one of two things…
DEAR ZORA
Now might be a good time to tell your family to fuck off.
Well, folks, it's that time of year again––the holidays. It's the time of year when you not-so-gleefully indulge in 30 pounds of ham over a belaboring three-week period even though you swore off meat ten months ago. It's your aunt's bourbon-glazed ham, and she's made it every year for as…
DEAR ZORA
First of all, do men have a sad boy season? I think the fuck not.
I recently returned to California after a gap year in New Jersey, where the weather is primarily wet, and the skies are usually dark. There was maybe two weeks worth of solid sunshine all year, and as someone who has spent the last 22 years living in the Golden State…

Congratulations! You’ve been dating a wonderful woman for some time now. You really like her! Things have been going well and you’ve become increasingly generous with her.

Everything from which you try to hide.
I am the secrets you tell;
I am the barren soil inside.
.
And when you hold back the tears,

WELL-BEING
It’s okay to change your name, move to a new city, and be a brand new bitch.
It's okay to change your mind. I saw this message in an Instagram post as I sat in an airport the other day, in the throes of actively changing my mind. I breathed deeply through my mask, taking the meme as a sign from the digital heavens that I was…
Dear Level
Giving “full mast” a whole new meaning
Sex is a love language. Carnal conversation. How you operate in the bedroom can say a lot about who you are in other respects. So… how’s your native tongue?
You may not realize the coital cues you’re giving and how they might be interpreted. But, I assure you, women’s antennae…
POETRY
She has been given a name, ordained by The Most High
She is a Woman,
In every sense of the word.
So strong in her convictions,
She makes her every thought heard.
.
She is a Woman,
And she knows this is true,
As she bears every pain,
That has been spared unto you.
.
And at times,
She will sacrifice,
