Sun Versus Moon Continued
Looking back, I've oft-resented the guys I dated for not seeing all my talents. For belittling me. For thinking of me as just a fresh piece of meat who could please them. But I suppose it's not their fault. That is how I presented myself. And it is how I saw myself. In that situation. … Continue reading Sun Versus Moon Continued

A Photoshopped World, A Tormented Soul

I still remember learning in my late teens that magazines are photoshopped. … Continue reading A Photoshopped World, A Tormented Soul
I’m Only Human
While doing yoga this morning, the following thought popped into my head: I am human. This was an invitation to not seek out perfection.
