I was actually keeping the promise I’d made to myself and sticking to all the self-help advice I’d read. THAT WAS A FIRST!

The following is a list — a gentle reminder, for anyone who has ever had a hard time trusting in a new relationship, and allowing someone to love them.

Fat shaming and skinny shaming are harmful. We need to stop allowing the media to pit plus size and thin women against one another.

From now on, as hard as it may sound, I’m giving less power to Instagram. I realized I was wrapping all my self-worth in attention from another person.

Recently it seems like everyone I know is going through a gut-wrenching, soul-crushing, devastating breakup. Here's my breakup list to help us all!

I got on Tinder! I was now, officially on and it was like I had been sucked into a vortex and I couldn't get out. Wow. This place is a madhouse.

I took out my phone, and with all my newfound self-worth and intentions inside me… I did it! I downloaded the app and prepared to use Tinder.

I thought, if this is her new self-help medicine, it was working. I was lifting the veil of my life and who I was at my core.
