There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.

If I have sex with a woman, it does not make me gay. As someone who identifies as female, it doesn’t even make me a lesbian.

Because you only get one shot at life.

We’ve all made bad choices when it comes to dating. Mine involves Hannah Montana, a tractor, and an awkward invitation to a threesome.

It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?

Even a Google search will conflate “queer women” with “lesbian.” So the first and most obvious thing I wish people understood about being a queer woman, is that we exist.

I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.
