I haven't been okay for about 4 weeks. First it was a hole in my face and then I heard news I never wanted to hear again... Ever since a large cyst was removed from my lower right cheek - close to my jaw line - I have hidden from the world with intense feelings of being ugly and unattractive. For most, hearing the f*&%ing "C" word is very sho...

March 07, 2021 07:00 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MBAs a woman, I don’t need a partner who invests all their energy in trying to prove how strong, manly, masculine, macho, or heroic you are... I just want a man who is willing to meet me where they are, treat me fairly, care for me financially and equitably — and is able to make 100% sure that our sexual and romantic spark keeps burning daily. After lots of dating (using dating apps) for the past few months, and creating a small harem of men (don't judge me if you've never tried it and no, I...
Getting Back With An Ex...
February 24, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MBI have truly never understood the phrase “falling out of love...” In fact — when I first heard it — I found it deeply disturbing... I recall thinking as a child that if someone could fall out of love with someone else — and they were legally married, then could my parents fall out of love with me??? The question haunted me into my teens... It was then — and my first love/crush/kiss — that I learned some love outlast breakups... Society pressures us to put relationships into boxes with labe...

February 10, 2021 08:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MBStarting off with lofty goals and boundless enthusiasm, we all get excited about the new year... However, then January becomes a grey, dark, depressing month. I know... It happens to most of us. It happens so often there’s even a term for the feelings it evokes: the January blues. I know... You're thinking so what??? It's February and you still feel like you did in January... Actually you feel even worse.. And while you want to be happy and in love... Life just feels "ugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
S. E. X. and Three Lifetime Loves
January 28, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 42.1 MB"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." ~ Lao Tzu It’s been said that we really only fall in love with three people in our lifetime. Yet, it’s also believed that we need each of these loves for a different reason. Or is it possible that the reality is we need to truly learn what love isn’t before we can grasp what it is. It's possibly we need a whole lifetime to learn each lesson, or maybe, if we’re lucky, it only takes a few years...

A whole shit show of insanity, denial, fighting and jealousy, pure dislike and arbitrary rules, chaos and more CHAOS, family moments and lonely moments, and everything in between...

Creating My Global View - The College Years
January 04, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBI was taught that education benefit society... How you ask??? Allow me to explain my POV on obtaining a formal education: Educated people understand how valuable it is to live in a stable and secure community. They are more prone to taking part in projects that help improve not only their neighborhood but society, as well. It's incredibly important for society that community members get involved and give a hand to the less fortunate ones in order to build a better place for all of us to live...
