Aunt Pythia gives it up for Polly
September 6, 2014
Dearest readers. Dearest, dearest readers. Aunt Pythia was just about to crack open her dog-eared google doc of questions when she happened across this Ask Polly column which blew her away (hat tip Julie Steele).
It’s entitled Ask Polly: Why Don’t the Men I Date Ever Truly Love Me? and it’s just about the best advice Aunt Pythia has ever seen for a whole lot of people, men and women. In fact she’s seriously considering stealing certain phrases out of this one column for future use, including the following:
- Is it time to stop being so good and start discovering what’s going to transform your life into something big and vibrant and shocking?
- Block the “other” from this picture. No more audience. You are the cherished and the cherisher.
- Fuck wondering if you’re lovable. Fuck asking someone else, “Am I there yet?” Fuck listening for the answer.
Bravo, Polly! And readers, please go read it.

I get it… Polly is your twin sister, right (like Dear Abby & Ann Landers), and you’re giving her some promotion…

I wish! I have always wanted a sister.

that is a pretty great advice column, and obviously in the spirit of aunt pythia, but I feel a little cheated, in that from the title of this post I was expecting some slash fiction…

Wait, first Aunt Pythia had a sister and now Aunt Pythia has a lady lover? Or both at the same time?? You guys are even stranger than I’d thought.

Strange really doesn’t begin to cover it.

The answer, it turns out, is mathematical.

So I had already read this because it was linked to by one of my favorite advice sites, which you should go read if you haven’t yet: captainawkward.com.
