The “you” who opens their eyes in the morning isn’t the same “you” lays down their head in that bed that night. In those few hours of consciousness you have more exposure to life, you experience a world of compassion and cruelty that has the potential to change the trajectory of your entire life.

Think of #MondaysWithMatt as the ultimate #MondayMotivation. Today's topic is how to handle mental health in a partner.

There’s a big difference between talking and communicating. One exists to relay messages, ideas, and feelings: the building blocks of being a person. The other exists to fill time. I’m by no means here to tell people how to approach their relationships — I just don’t want people to feel pressured to fill silences with noise out of the fear their partners won’t think they care.

This week: Find what fuels you, and don't beat yourself up if what's fueling you right now is "surviving."

"The universe is a big, dark, cold empty space — but you're not any of that. You're a light."

This Monday, Matt helps us celebrate Masturbation Month! (To say anything else would betray the beauty of this video.)

It's time for #MondayMotivation with Matt Joseph Diaz. Today Matt is talking about vulnerability. 

For a long time, passing privilege made me feel like I didn’t deserve to call myself latino.

There's nothing wrong with taking a break to recharge and re-center.

From a young age, people (especially women) are constantly taught that we’re in competition with one another. Whether it’s our grades, our social status, our economic status, or those creepy beauty pageants for 6 year olds, we’re immediately thrust into a world where we’re taught to view everyone as adversarial to a certain degree.
