This is modern love stories of love, loss and redemption.
I'm your host, Meghna Chakrabarti.
You know the phase, the one where you're going back and forth between your place and your partner's, and you have to bring all your stuff with you.
But when is it time to make a change?
Deanna Clevesy writes about that question in her essay security in a bright yellow suitcase.
It's read by Christina Hendricks.
She starred as Joan in Mad Men, and you can see her now in good girls on on more than one.
Occasion, I have rolled my bright yellow carry on suitcase into the office on a Monday morning to the confusion of my coworkers.
Where did you go this weekend?
They would ask.
The Hamptons.
No, I would reply.
95th and Broadway.
My suitcase contains little pots of beauty products, sample size toothpaste, and my shampoo in TSA approved three ounce bottles.
I have a folding hairdryer, folding toothbrush, and a folding Dopp kit to keep everything organized.
My heels and sneakers complement each other's shape in one corner of the suitcase, with my delicate blouses tightly rolled in the other, as I must be prepared for morning meetings, happy hours, dinner plans, and snuggle sessions.
Ultimately, I aspire to pack everything I need without suggesting that my boyfriend is my everything.
