Privilege

I woke up this morning to the sound of rumbling thunder outside my window. I love waking up to rain. It is peaceful and cleansing.To me it feels like the world is giving me permission to take a break and be present.But then, I picked up my phone and did a quick scroll through Instagram and every bit of peace left my body and was replaced with a tightness in my chest.I saw people crying.

A Letter to (Myself? You?)

Today I shared a video on IGTV reading aloud a letter I had written for my "therapy homework". Below you'll find the words I shared if you prefer reading over listening....

(Omg Yay I know.) I've struggled with both and felt a lot of shame through the whole process.

Thank You

Feminists are often mistaken as "Man Haters".And because I call myself a feminist, I also like to emphasize that I love, respect and admire both men & women equally. (Feminism MEANS the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men - READ THIS) Except after my last "situationship" went south a few months ago, I've been really jaded. I felt myself slowly slide into man-hating and I started to blame eveything on men, and thought that my life[...]
