Troubles, they may come and go, but good times they're the gold. Steady as We Go - Dave Matthews Band I've been thinking about this lyric this morning, but instead of "troubles" I kept thinking "people". Some people enter our lives with such positivity that we cannot imagine they will ever leave our lives so abruptly... Continue Reading →
Redeeming Qualities
As a person with depression I tend to fall into a spiral where I ruminate on all my flaws. I cover my insecurities with self-deprecation and humor. I never want to come across as conceited so I tend to swing the pendulum to the other side and point out all of my self-perceived flaws. When... Continue Reading →
“Love Hard, or GTFO”
A friend of mine sent an Instagram reel to me of Chris Rock's stand-up. Chris said, "Love hard or get the fuck out." This is a concise statement of how I want my next relationship to be. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpDwQaQOtFb/?igshid=N2Q2MGM2OGQ%3D Love Hard or GTFO If you want me, show me. If you are not capable of that, then... Continue Reading →
Feelings About Sex: An Evolution
I lost my virginity at the ripe old age of 18. I was more anxious about my first kiss (which occurred a week before my 18th birthday) than I was about losing my virginity. I figured out at a very early age how to give myself orgasms. I didn't know what it was at the... Continue Reading →
Uterine Anomalies
On this Mother’s Day I’d like to honor the mothers by talking about Uteri, or uteruses (both are correct, btw), specifically uterine anomalies. In middle school when we first learn about sex and reproductive education in a classroom setting, we are usually shown a picture of a perfectly upside-down pear-shaped uterus, complete with two ovaries,...

An Interlude in the Nude
For the past several years I wanted to do a boudoir photoshoot. Nearly all the boudoir photos I found on the internet were beautiful and amazing, but in nearly all of them the women were wearing lingerie. I have nothing against lingerie; it's beautiful. However, I am not a lingerie wearing kind of woman. I sleep... Continue Reading →
Smile
"It is possible for a man to appreciate the form and face of a woman while simultaneously understanding her existence is not only for his viewing pleasure."-Me Throughout the entirety of my life I have been told countless times to, "smile," by men. These are not men I know; they are total strangers to me.... Continue Reading →
Put Me in Coach!
A coach is defined as someone who instructs or trains. From my understanding, a coach should also have knowledge and expertise over another giving them an ability to train a particular skill. So... what the hell is a Life Coach? Who out there has more expertise about living (in general) over another living person? This... Continue Reading →
What About Your Friends?
I think about writing a lot. I think about all I want to say during the day, but when I actually have time to write my mind is blank. Or, it is so full I can’t focus on just one thing? Usually, it’s just blank, like right now. I am writing (typing) without any specific... Continue Reading →
FUCK. THE. WINTER.
This has been the fastest slowest winter ever. That may be a bit hyperbolic, but it sure as fuck feels like the last month flew by. How is it still only February? Where are my warm temperatures? Where is my sunshine? Where are the blooming trees and the greening grass? I legitimately, with a fiery... Continue Reading →
