    My boyfriend said to me over the phone one warm evening in September years ago, ‘Hey, any chance we could get married by December?’ It was not the romantic proposal of any girl’s dream by any stretch of the imagination.

    I get an email from Ancestry.com. I leave it unread in my inbox, at first. I think about deleting it. I think, for the hundredth time, about unsubscribing and blocking. I think about canceling the account, which was a gift from my adoptive mother almost ten years ago. Every six months or so, I stare out the window instead of working. My skin itches for days.

    1. We tend to use the word “bitter” to denote taste, temperature, or feeling. Often, though not always, bitterness carries a negative charge, bringing us into proximity with a mostly undesirable set of feelings or experiences. Perhaps like jealousy, one doesn’t aspire toward bitterness in one’s inner life, relational world, emotional wheelhouse, etc. 2. In common parlance, the word is familiar and mundane: bitter greens, a bitter wind blew all night.
