I know moving won't magically make my life better, but I guess at this point, I don't see the harm in believing that it will.
The Big Move is Coming
New Piece on Medium: Beauty Isn’t Binary
I wanted to write this not only as a moment of catharsis for myself, but also because I know several non-binary folx out there might feel the same way. No matter where we fall on the non-binary spectrum, I know several of my friends have felt pressure to present more masculine, or more feminine to feel desirable, and sometimes, more androgynously to be valid.
She’s Got a New Look (And Other Updates)
So you may have noticed a little bit of an aesthetic update to the blog/website. If so, neat! If not, welp, now you know! Also neat! I've had some art work in the works for quite a while, and I just received the files a few days ago! I desperately wanted to change up my …

Let’s Get Therapeutic
You shouldn’t have to get to the point where your own thoughts make it hard for you to feel happy.
