I recently celebrated my 32nd birthday, and in an overwhelm of emotions I had a lot to process. We, as in the entire world, are in a state of crisis.

Like with most things, this phrase has been used and abused to the point in which it holds no weight. Body positivity isn’t about doing whatever you want or showing off your body, it’s about having a positive self reflection and encouraging others to the same end. I think messages and movements tend to take…
With the passing of my aunt fresh in my mind and heavy on my heart, I wanted to express some things to lighten the load. I’ve lost a few people who are significant to me and it seems to only be getting harder. I’m pretty solid emotionally, but death is never easy no matter how…

I definitely had a pattern of dating men that were emotionally damaged or completely unavailable. Very much used to the types of women that were emotionally abusive, physically abusive and the like. I never understood this cycle…
