Feelings

Big day? Fighting with insecurity? Got a hot date? ARE the hot date? Starting a new project, school or job? Going to do something where everyone’s watching? Coming out? Just got tested or asked for what you really, really wanted in bed for the first time? Getting yourself out of a bad relationship…

You know it’s time to go, and you know it’s also time to start letting go. You probably have a whirlwind of different feelings about it. You may be leaving the worst relationshipyou’ve ever had, you may find yourself having to let go of what felt like the very best one. Maybe it’s a friend, maybe it’s a love, maybe it’s a FWB, your town, your family, or even just a way of thinking or believing. No matter what it was, what you know it’s got to be now is over and what you’ve got to start to get is over it.

The second of this month’s batch is all about moving in together: the agony and the ecstacy, the joys and the woes, the ups, the downs, the argh of who drank the last of the milk again for crying out loud and the ahh of the very sweetest of first-thing-of-a-morning-even-though-your-breath-is-actually-kind-of-rank smooches. We’ve got your soundtrack for everything from bringing daily life sweetness to another person to learning to clean up your own damn mess to the deep and amazing joy making a home with someone who already feels like home for your heart can be.

We made a few of them, actually. And we’re going to keep making a couple of them to share with you over every month, because some of us love making mixes and all of us love all of you! Sometimes we’ll even deliver you some extra sex and relationships education at the same time, just because we’re…

Why are certain types of touch so important to our relationships? How does culture and identity affect how we think about touch as a form of social communication?

First up, I hope whatever is bringing you to this big move is an incredible and wanted opportunity. I’m also so glad you were able to get a diagnosis that helps you understand a little more about yourself, and that can probably help you find resources and tools to make some things less challenging…

Why is it that scenes of rape and other sexual violence in media can be so upsetting to some people and not others? Are there ways to be less impacted by these scenes, or avoid them altogether?

A starter guide to managing and resolving interpersonal conflict.

You’re considering or have made it to therapy. Now how do you do your part to benefit from it?
