I like sex. I was lucky enough to lose my virginity to my first puppy love when I was 16, in my bed. It wasn’t weird or awkward at all, it was full of love and longing. He eventually broke my heart, and as I got older, life does what it does and I became damaged. I used men to fill a void. I was afraid that all men would leave me, like my dad, like all the men that came after. I liked sex, but I also knew I was using sex as a weapon to hurt no one besides myself. I want you to know that when you are a woman that enjoys sex and likes to party, people don’t care if you get sexually assaulted. People no longer think it matters if you get sexually harassed. “She asked for it” Did I? Did I ask for you to take advantage of me, in the dark, when I was too drunk to defend myself? Did I ask for you to fuck me while I was blacked out, in a room full of people? Time after time after time feeling empty, confused and dirty and I thought I deserved it, because that’s what they made me believe. If you are a woman that enjoys sex NEVER let anyone make you feel like you deserve things you didn’t consent to, agree to or ask for. I will stand up for you, I won’t stay quiet, I am you. #metoo
@_takingmylifeback asked me to show up in my vulnerability. It’s something that I used to do here in this space often, but haven’t in a while. Here is a photo of me at the end of the day before heading to the gym. I have always struggled to love my belly - I always had a hyper focus on it. The obsessive need for abs. I still find myself saying things like, I have a great booty but I wish I had a flat tummy too! Why? Because of comparison. I wouldn’t even know any different if it wasn’t for social media and it’s ability to make us feel less, if we let it. I’m here to tell you it’s ok to compare, but do not let it linger. Overcome those thoughts with self love. You have flaws. I have flaws. Those fitness accounts have flaws. They make us human and they make us beautiful. I encourage you today to step into a space of vulnerability and wear or do something that challenges the edges of your comfort zone. #WEAReveryouwant

The clothing I put on my body is not there for your entertainment, it is there to cover me in a way that makes me feel confident with my body. It does not give you an excuse to touch me, to harass me, whether it be verbal or physical. You, too? #metoo

“You can’t always set out on a course and know with certainty where you’ll end up. Sometimes fear or anxiety can arise when you hold on too much to a certain outcome. Let go of the outcome. The result may be unexpected, but more beautiful than you can imagine right now.”
