I’ve got a little bit of a vulnerability hangover.
But I also have gratitude.
Gratitude for y’all sticking with me through this six-week ride. Gratitude for showing up in the comments, for reading, for sending these essays to your group chats, for letting me speak freely about things people often dismiss as silly.
Smut. Body image. Dating. Sex toys. Boudoir. Lover-girl joy.
None of it is silly to me.
If you missed anything, here’s the full series:
Each one is intended to be a conversation starter. Share them with your people, the friend struggling with dating, the one side-eyeing her body in the mirror, the one afraid of being cringe.
Because that’s what this series has been about: opening space for us to talk. To connect.
Now it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming, back to food and travel and whatever else draws my eye. I may circle back to this series someday, but for now, we’re closing this chapter. Before we do, I’d love to hear from you:
What stayed with you most from these six weeks? A story that made you laugh? A moment that cracked something open? A piece you sent to a friend?
