    My love says I am not a fool but I will play dumb for you. He tells me sweet nothings and calls only on the weekends. On Mondays I find our love in a bottle. On Tuesdays it clouds a Joint. He texts to confirm plans. Tells me to shave downstairs for next time. And I listen. Because I am young. Naïve. A little bit desperate and kind of hungry. There is this way he almost loves me. It's never enough but I always stay.

If they feel that everything they do will reflect on other men and be misrepresented and misunderstood, take a seat. You are now honorary women.

    But the truth that I did not understand at the time was that God did not make our bodies for public consumption or consumerism. We are not the sum of our physical attributes and what we can contribute to others' satisfaction. All those thoughts about how we are not good enough, skinny enough, or perfect enough are, quite plainly, lies.
