Secure Searching For Coach Taylor Drafted By Mindy Kaling Rendered As Manuscript

about this is me,
From the pity talk to the empowering feeling of parenting decisions to the benefits of singledom,
I felt every inch of this essay in my core,
This is my life on paper,
I, too, am waiting for my Coach Taylor who isn't! but for now, I'm alltheway good, I love Mindy Kaling's humor, and this quick read is theth in her "Nothing Like I Imagined" series about her life as a single mother.
This particular installment focuses on her being single and the perks and downsides of being partnerless, Sure, she can take over both nightstands in the bedroom, but she still needs someone to grab a bottle of wine from the top shelf for her.
Nothing Like I Imagined is an essay collection by actress, producer, and writer sitelinkMindy Kaling that explores different aspects of her life such as being a I think voluntary single mom who wants to makes lots of friends, but due to social anxiety, has learned that the quality over quantity is the better life motto.
Being a celebrity, there's a lot of Kaling's life that is completely unrelatable but her opinions and reactions to the various situations depicted in the essays are very relatable.


Essay: sitelinkSearching for Coach Taylor Not for Me
This essay is best summarized as Kaling's pro/con list for being a single woman/mom wherein Kaling's tries to entertain readers in a lighthearted, inoffensive manner by throwing a bunch of pretty antiquated ideas about committed relationships out there.
Unfortunately, humor being subjective and all, this one just wasn't for me,

Essay: sitelinkBig ShotStars To be completely honest I have no idea who Coach Taylor is, I still found it funny.
I like reading this type of procon list,

The only downside is the fact that this couldve been part of one book with essays instead of publishing it separately.
Quotes:

And the only reason theyd want us to feel worse about being single is if they were secretly jealous.
So maybe pitypatter isnt pity at all, but actually envy disguised as pity disguised as goodwill and kindness

Being single, and being a single mom, is really complicated.
Sometimes its the most liberating and lucky feeling in the world, Sometimes I am just so grateful to be an independent woman doing what I want, when I want, that I could cry with gratitude.
I cant believe the shit my married female friends have to put up with, But other times I could cry because I cant believe Im not in the kind of stable and happy marriage that my parents had.
Either way, theres a lot of crying, Its fun to have a partner, Its why buddy comedies exist, Movies about solo journeys are scary and depressing, I would rather be in Step Brothers thanHours, wouldnt you And a successful marriage is the ultimate buddy comedy.


The problem with basing your dream husband on the men you see on TV is that no actual human resembles any of them.
You go forth with this traditionally gorgeous, morally flawless ideal that you cant actually find out in the threedimensional world.
The men you meet cant live up to these unrealistic standards,

A husband is a builtin, permanent plusone, That is extremely valuable. I love going to parties with a buffer between myself and people I dont want to talk to, Thats heaven.

I happen to love dining alone at restaurants, I can read a book or be on my phone with impunity without annoying a significant other or signaling to the rest of the restaurant how dysfunctional we are.


Theres so much about my husbandless life that I love, and I do feel confident that its the best choice for me right now.
But life is long and were always changing, When I look back at all the times I felt certain about something, I see that I was often wrong or ended up changing my

mind.
So Im open to the possibility that my Coach Taylor is out there somewhere, just waiting to steal my second nightstand and limit Kits Elmo intake.


In the meantime, theres no need to pity me, My situation might be different from yours, but its no better and no worse, I try to remember that whenever Im feeling lonely, and I hope I remember it if/when I have a husband and his parents are sawing away at my very last nerve.
A tongueincheek look at her own life and why she is single, Another great essay that is relatable for some, and even if it is not, she has a way of connecting you to it.
For example, I'm not single, Been marriedyears. Still, I get why she has chosen not to be tied down, Although she hasn't ruled it out,
I look forward to the next essay!

,/This is part of a collection of essays and I'm going to give it an overall rating of,rounded up to.
I listened to these on audio book and Mindy Kaling comes across as extremely personable and funny, It felt like i was listening to a friend tell me about her weekend, I liked this short essay about the pros and cons of being an unmarried woman and single mother! It was very lighthearted as Kaling does best, with a lot of truth and wisdom tucked into the humor.
Of course she doesn't spend a lot of time talking about the immense amount of privilege she has in being a single mother money, help, etc.
but it's comedy so who cares, i really enjoyed the first story in this collection but any of the others i read so far couldnt really keep me interested or entertained.


mostly because Kaling spends a bit too much time complaining about things that she thinks about and are not actually happening so why complain about it

be it that what she talked about in this story when other women talk/complain to her about their husbands in some form and Kaling takes that as them basically rubbing their relationship into her face.

i dont know the specific situations but i think that speaks a bit more about Kaling herself than the women she talks rather dismissingly and negatively about.


or basically the entire list the rest of the story is when she shares when it why she would like a husband or when shes happy to not have one.
and the entire while i read those moments i thought: does she want a partner or a person to boss around, nod along and be her escape hatch from situations shes not completely comfortable in
is that really why people are in relationships and marriage for

mhm.


for me this entire story read like one big complain about how she simultaneously complains about wanting and not wanting a husband in ways that makes me thing she isnt happy with what she had for some reason.


clearly not my kind of read but not everything has to be,
i do prefer the more positive view and not talking down especially at women that didnt do anything wrong.
It's about her life as a single mum and her thoughts on having a husband pros and cons, Soo good!
