Though it may not always be the kindest option, no means no. It doesn't mean ask later or ask again in a different way. If you ask me if I want something from the store and I say no, let it stand. If you ask me if you look fat, and I say no, let it stand. While there may be an exception to every rule, no is a complete sentence.

You're awake, still feeling the fingerprints of last night's dream on your skin. You can't shake it. All morning your head wanders, wondering which reality you're living in. When dreams feel so real, they linger.

Sorry, not sorry. I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sorry, but in my defense...   Apologies Do Not come with disclaimers or explanations. Some apologies aren't looking for accountability, they're looking for absolutions. Why is sincerity so hard to come by when saying, "I'm sorry"?

Grab some popcorn and let's watch. We can't always avoid the crowds or overhearing intimate conversations. There is no expectation of privacy in public after all. Sometimes, creating backstories turn these moments with strangers into living poetry, tickling our funny bones, breaking our hearts, or just pissing us off. Some of us keep our eyes low and can't be bothered. Others, however elevate peop...

We take aim at every lazy stereotype about aging and knock them flat. Age is more than a number, it's a mindset. Some people refuse to fade out, slow down, or play the role society assigns them. "Old" isn't synonymous with irrelevant.

Sinking into a bubble-filled bathtub where the foam forms tiny crowns and her thoughts float up like little sparkles. Come escape away from the chaos, let it all float away. A little self-care goes a long way.

It's not always easy to sell yourself. Whether you're an artist or in a job interview, there is an art to making yourself look like the best choice. Is selling yourself limited to job searches, or do we sell/ market ourselves on dating apps, on dates, to one up our siblings. It just may be that success is based on how well versed we are in the Art of Prostitution and what we'd do for money or to g...
