A Quote by Rebecca Traister

I had thought a lot about unmarried life during my years as an unmarried woman - which was all during my 20s and into my 30s. I was someone who didn't have a ton of relationships as a single person - and so I had a sharp identification with singlehood.

I venture to suggest Mush, abbreviated to Mh.
