Nudism and Body Positivity
Previous posts have touched on body image especially the one where I bared it all. But it is a topic that needs a bit more addressing, to be honest. I am very hard on myself, like many of us are. I see myself in the mirror and reflect back to a time when I was … Continue reading Nudism and Body Positivity
Self-Care TedTalks
Today, I thought I would share some Ted Talks about self-care. We often overlook it in our lives because we are taught that it is considered selfish to worry about our needs above others. In truth, both need to be tempered. Too much focus on anyone aspect can leave the other one seriously lacking. Sure, … Continue reading Self-Care TedTalks
The Importance of Self Care
Relationships, as my last few posts have pointed out, can be hard and confusing. There is no one true method on how they are supposed to work. This is because no two people are the same.

A quick glance through most hookup or dating apps will show you a … Continue reading Have Relationships Evolved?
Relationship Realness
A friend posted a meme on Facebook recently on "toxic monogamy culture." First, I will give a short rant how much I hate the over usage of the word "toxic" when applied to any culture. There are times that it is a valid expression and then there are time in which someone uses it as … Continue reading Relationship Realness
Have You Met These Guys?
I admit, I haven't been fully vested in the dating scene for a hot minute. A lot of reasons really, like survivor's guilt which lead to apathy in general and finished up with lack of interest in the BS that guys seem to give on every app and dating site out there. I got back … Continue reading Have You Met These Guys?
