I realize that such a suggestion may seem a little negative, but counter to what some people (read: my therapist) may want us to believe, negativity constitutes a healthy chunk of a person’s character. I would not be who I am today were it not for my list of disdains. Take clichés, for instance. I hate them passionately. And trans fats—they repulse me. Heart-to-heart conversations, romanticism, and the notion that...
