Humans are more than just lessons—but they can be that, too. Here are lessons you might learn: breakups can be graduations, a child will always change the dynamic of a relationship but you decide how you respond to that change, a bandaid will never heal our wounds just like reassurance won’t quiet our anxiety monsters, and you WILL miss out on something with every choice you make, but you’ll gain something different, hopefully better for you, too.We just added a bunch of new merchandise to our store and restocked a few favorites.

Forget the hierarchies you’ve been taught! Here are other beliefs you should free yourself from: you need to save the people you love from their own sadness, your relationship was perfect “except for that one tiny detail…” (like living in different cities and not wanting an LDR), and that a speedboat’s trajectory is better than a sailboat’s.We just added a bunch of new merchandise to our store and restocked a few favorites.

We can’t move through this world without hurting people. Here’s what we CAN do: create new holiday traditions and hope our parents are okay with that, see our partners for who they are NOW and not who their exes say they were, and either shoot our shot or get off the pot (or simply say good to our nine-year vague-posting back-and-forth dumpster fire).We just added a bunch of new merchandise to our store and restocked a few favorites.

If your cucumber is in brine, you can still stop it before it becomes a pickle. Effective interventions include: accepting that other forms of sex may be more available to and successful for you, communicating your boundaries actively, firmly, consistently, lovingly, and long before they’re needed, and working toward self-love that feels nothing like settling.(apologies for Sierra's audio! stuff happens! it'll be fixed next week!)
