Stop Being Nice to Men
Now that I've gotten your attention, let me explain. Stop being nice to men. And by nice, I mean being an overly accommodating, low maintenance, overthinking doormat. While you're busy being a hot girl in the tweets, your paragraph texts tell a different story. Over the last few years, I've regularly written about reclaiming your… Continue reading Stop Being Nice to Men
What I’ve learned about love, sex, and relationships so far
In less than 24 hours, I will be turning 30. When I started this blog 5 years ago, I was in a completely different space, feeling trapped in a relationship that I felt I needed to be in, shedding harmful habits, and struggling to make a name for myself in an industry that I was… Continue reading What I’ve learned about love, sex, and relationships so far

What Depression Looks Like
"The longer I do this, the more I realize that there isn't a specific type of patient afflicted by this," said my psychiatrist. I was in the hospital, recovering from my first and only major depressive episode. Just days after my birthday, the quiet storm of seemingly unrelated events that had been brewing for months… Continue reading What Depression Looks Like
Sometimes, you do it to yourself
Froth: worthless or insubstantial talk, ideas, or activities In light of today's daily prompt and recent celebrity gossip, I've decided to tell the straight-shot-no-chaser version of the scandal that is Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian. Some may consider celebrity gossip mindless fodder, or froth, but I often see and identify the meaning within these types… Continue reading Sometimes, you do it to yourself
