“It’s not ‘just bad cramps.’ It’s your body screaming that something is wrong, and you deserve to be heard.” Listen, sis. You know that pain. The one that makes you cancel plans, miss a class, or call out of your shift. The one you try to explain to a guy who just says “take a Midol” or to a doctor who shrugs and says “periods hurt.” What if I told you that level of pain isn’t normal? And that it might be a

“Taking antidepressants isn’t a sign you’re broken. It’s a sign you’re finally done trying to fix a chemical problem with sheer willpower.” Listen, sis.

You think you need more sleep, more caffeine, a new skincare routine. But girl, 9 times out of 10, what you really need is water. Proper hydration. I’m

“You wouldn’t talk to your best friend the way you talk to yourself. So why is your self-criticism so brutal?” Listen, I know that voice. The one that whispers you’re not ready for the internship interview the second you hit “submit.” The one that replays that awkward thing you said in class on a loop.
