It's time for #MondayMotivation with Matt Joseph Diaz. Today Matt is talking about vulnerability. 

This Monday, Matt helps us celebrate Masturbation Month! (To say anything else would betray the beauty of this video.)

This week, Matt talks about fear. What happens when the worst thing you can imagine happening, actually happens?

[CN: surgery, bodily fluids] There are scars, blood drainage, swelling and bruising — it’s essentially going to look like makeup from The Walking Dead following the procedure.
