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. 

Dear anti-feminist men, 

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

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.

I know that the world can seem like a scary and terrible place, where it feels like the threat of judgment and exclusion is constantly looming. That’s because it is; but there’s so much more love and kindness on this planet than evil and suffering. There is generosity and spirit in every human being that runs so deep, you’ll find it hard not to fall a little bit in love with each and every one of them.

This week, Matt shares what he wishes he learned in high school.

CN: suicide

I promise you, people living with depression are acutely aware that things probably aren’t as bad as they could be.

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

I feel equipped to talk about the intricacies of the body positivity movement; for with all its beauty and empowerment, there are aspects of body positivity that try to control how others view and treat their bodies. Though I understand the intention, behavior like this flies in the face of the ideals the movement is trying to create. Put simply: it's time we stop trying to police body positivity.
