When I was contemplating suicide, I felt like I was in the room with a serial killer who was after me. Honestly scared of myself for the first time in my life. I felt so isolated, so utterly alone, and hopeless. In that moment, I learned an incredible amount about myself. And while I would [...]
Jealousy is GREAT!! It motivates us to change and it helps us to build our world up using the best parts of other peoples' worlds. However, jealousy goes very very wrong when we do not use it in this way. When lazy people get jealous, they waste this motivating force and allow it to distract [...]
Perhaps the most devastating and liberating thing I learned in my first 5 years of being in my 20s is that monogamy is not for everyone, and more specifically not for me. I grew up on fairytales. And until the age of 23, I was absolutely positive that finding that one person would be the [...]

One of the great blessings and curses of my life is that I have NEVER fit in. From the first day of pre-school I was bullied relentlessly. Pushed, teased, tricked, used, and on one especially terrible occasion, hit in the face with a kickball. The damage done was deep and cost me years of happiness. [...]
I grew up in a small town and my teachers thought I was "retarded" because I would sit and stare into space for long periods of time and unless I was reading Harry Potter, my attention span was zero. Turns out I have something called A.D.D. or Attention Deficit Disorder. Which basically means my brain [...]
Why are posts about super intelligent, successful women bugging me today? Aren't they showing that women don't have to sell our bodies to be celebrated? Why is this driving me crazy??
