For nearly six years, I’ve lived in my dead grandparents’ house in a Los Angeles suburb.

I don’t meet valuable stuff. I mean things I feel I just can’t part with “in case I need” them at some point. Think papers, partially broken or worn down items, movie theatre stubs, receipts, etc. As a kid, shoving these items under the bed worked fine.

What I was worried about was whether or not I was “doing enough” on my end of the whole interaction. While I’d never yet had an actual penis inside of my vagina, I’d come close enough and paid enough attention during my health classes to understand the basic mechanics....

From the moment we set foot into the world, we are geared to want to be society’s definition of beautiful — long and lean. Our happiness is determined by a scale, one that can’t calculate happiness, worth or strength — only weight. I spent two-and-a-half years of high school almost 20 pounds underweight.
