This is beyond amazing. I insist that we hear a happy update several times a year! Much love to you, Andy!

Agree %100. Also, jelly shoes were amazing!

I grew up with She-Ra. We need more high powered women in cartoons.

This is a bit late, but read the books that Brene Brown has written. She studies shame for a living, and she has learned SO much about vulnerability. Highly recommend.

The YouTube commenting section springs to mind. *shudder*

Raised in the deep south, (but moved away at age 29), I can promise you that belief is still alive and well. Disturbing.

Shared, and reading it made my day.

Same here! Got scarred years ago by an elephant's death in a documentary and haven't watched one since.

Thank you! ^THIS^

Thank you for adding your voice. So grateful to not be alone with these exhausting thoughts.

Boundaries are crucial for mutual respect to occur. No one sticks around long if the relationship is all about doing Every. Single. Thing. possible to please the other person. You have to include love and self worth for yourself.

This made me cry. Damnit.

You just helped me out! I was still reeling after unfriending a guy on Facebook who said that 'real feminists stay at home, other women just want to be men with vaginas'. I didn't even know what to say in response.

So happy to read this...you made my night.

*happy squeals!*

Love this.
