You do not have to hate your body — but you don’t have to love it either. While I'm happy with my fat body, I miss being thin.

Good news: they'll probably grow out of it. Bad news: probably not until they are 23.

You can work your butt off and still be left with a tummy. Bummer.

Oh hey remember that time in 1804 when Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton had an actual duel, with actual guns and Burr shot Hamilton and Hamilton did not shoot Burr. And then the next day Hamilton died.

...I’m going to help you! By “help” I mean “tell you all the things that didn’t work.”

Silly me, I thought the darn thing took care of itself. Little did I know I was sorely mistaken and had a vagina complex.

Being vulnerable, being seen (even lumpy and naked), admitting weakness, asking for help — these acts inspire and edify.

Compassion for myself is not a thing I do. It is not a thing I have ever done. It is not a thing I feel comfortable doing. It's time I stop for compassion.

If you decide pit or leg hair isn't a big deal, then bam! It's not a big deal.

Don’t most kids feel afraid to come home?
