You aren’t half of something waiting to be made whole — you’re a complete human being with your own important thoughts and ideas, looking for someone to add to your life. You're neither incomplete nor missing out on anything just because you’re single.

When we write articles about body image, we often speak in the abstract about big ideas and how we approach social interaction — but how exactly does one become body positive? What are the nuts and bolts that’ll lead you to a more positive sense of self, both physically and emotionally?

Sex is an activity. It’s something we can choose to do or not do — and the passion, the love, the intimacy, those are all different qualities we can ascribe to it based on how it happens and who it’s with. Sex doesn’t have any inherent morality or intimacy, it’s solely about those involved.

You are not where you're from, and you are not your environment.

“It’s just bacon —”
“It’s NOT about the Bacon, Donald. It’s about the principle.”

I know, it's Monday. BLECH. But, that also means it's time for #MondaysWithMatt.

Dear 16-Year-Old, 500 Pound Matt,

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