When you go through a difficult, traumatic, or transformative experience, there’s a part of you that wants to hold onto the person you were before it happened. You try so hard to hold onto a simpler time–a time when things weren’t so scary. But you can’t.

I’m recovering from some pretty major surgery that has made it really uncomfortable to move around. In addition, because of the painkillers and antibiotics, obviously, I’m not allowed to drink or basically do anything I enjoy anymore.

This week Matt talks about the new job he never expected to have, and how changing your career path isn't just perfectly normal — it shows how much you've grown as a person.

This week Matt reminds us how amazing we are.

This week, Matt talks about fear. What happens when the worst thing you can imagine happening, actually happens?

Between all of the political arguments and videos of dogs being excited to see their owners, I’m noticing a trend appearing all over my timeline — seemingly increasing every week. A lot of fucking people are getting engaged.

Dear anti-feminist men, 

I’m writing to you because I want to have a discussion.

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

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

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