THIS. You just put exactly how I feel about myself into words that I couldn't describe.

^^^This.

It's complicated. When people tell me I'm pretty, I'm like 'Pff, I am average. Maybe even above average if I've had a good night's sleep. But I'm not all that, by a long shot'. And then sometimes I'll take a photo of myself and be all 'wtf photo, I am looking much cuter than that today! RECOGNISE MY CUTENESS'

Basically *I* (usually) think I'm pretty, but I just about always think that other people WON'T find me pretty. In other words, I usually think I'm gorgeous but simultaneously think that I'm not what men want to see/someone strangers will look at and find attractive.

I love this new feature! I can't wait to read future installments!

Totally! I wanted a baby, and then when I found out I was pregnant, I was so...underwhelmed, that the doctor made it very clear that I had options, if I wanted to use them. A coworker told me the story of how she miscarried at 19 weeks, and a close friend miscarried about two weeks before I found out I was pregnant,…

“We had only just pulled the goalie and it happened right away.”

Don’t film this shit people, no one cares.

My brother was the result of an unplanned pregnancy. My mom was pretty upfront about it, but in a kind way. That still didn’t stop me as a kid from tormenting my brother over it.

Because if I have to acknowledge the likelihood that my parents had sex, it’s at least better to assume it was dutiful and joyless and only happened the once.

I often wonder about their life - like what they do in their downtime besides growing a beard on their neck. Do they live in a windowless basement, owned by their shrill and frustrated mother? Do they get off exclusively to crazy child anime characters w/ big boobs? Do they shower once a week? Do they wipe the…

I'm almost (ALMOST!) tempted to write one myself, just for the puns. Skewers, hot meat, creamy garlic sauce, balls of...falafel, the jokes practically write themselves!

Oh my god you name your periods like tropical storms. THAT IS AWESOME.

My fiancé is used to me shouting, "Ugh, there's fucking blood everywhere! Fuuuuuck!" every couple of weeks, but it takes a woman to understand that text that says, "Woman problems: fresh pair of undies, a stick on mentrual 8-hour hot pack, and two hours in you leak a little. Do you keep the hot pack and throw down a…

if you had better reading comprehension you'd be able to understand that i agree with you and DGAF about period empowerment in north america really — however, it's good to know that you shit your pants every month for a week straight bro

The cost is insane! You can do it! It'll be beautiful and you'll be so proud and it'll be unique and awesome. We were really lucky to be able to spend zero on flowers. I live in a really garden-y type small town and canvassed coworkers, friends and neighbours (plus I had planted my own flower garden with an August…

Yikes! Your parents sound like they were a nightmare to deal with! Sorry you had to deal with that. :(

I have mixed feelings about this...

Ah, the benefits of having a 2k wedding after a 3 month engagement. We fought a lot in the first year (which seems to be both normal and part of the adjustment that nobody seems to talk about - though it's a pretty good argument for cohabitation first) but then when we got used to living together we just got happier…
