i’m cruising along, reading my issue of real simple, about to flip the page, when i see this ad. i pause because the photo is adorable and feels really natural. then i’m confused what the image has to do with tylenol, so i stop to read the ad text. then i flip the page.
first thing: i rarely ever stop to read an ad. i typically ignore them. but this photo caught my eye and i stopped. so, success on that front tylenol!
second thing: it wasn’t until after i’d already turned the page that it occurred to me that the ad featured a same sex couple.
i turned back to the ad and felt a sort of weird happiness. thing is, i honestly did not think that this level of national ad representation of same sex couples would occur during my lifetime. yet here it is.
but more importantly, this type of representation is becoming so much more commonplace that i’m no longer hyper-aware that it’s occurring.
it’s just people, doing their thing, in an ad.
the battles are far from over. but this one small thing made me happy.

“Two true things about envy: 1) Envy is just unexpressed admiration. It’s respect holding its breath. 2) We are only envious of those already doing what we were made to do. Envy is a big flashing arrow pointing towards our destiny.”
