How to Conquer Your Negative Body Image
I'll never forget the first time I heard someone call me chicken legs. Cause I tried laughing along with them. I thought maybe if I laughed and didn't show I was hurt, they wouldn't think I was weak, and more importantly, it would make me feel stronger than I was.

How I Manage My Anxiety Without Medication
I learned to swim when I was about nine years old. Nobody taught me. In fact, I don't even remember how I learned.

Is Online Dating Good or Bad for Society?
I’ll never forget my first online date. It went very well. Nothing weird happened. It was a normal date. With a pretty normal girl. Even though I was partially expecting something bad to happen, nothing did. See there’s this dumb stereotype that online dating is dangerous and you’re gonna meet weird ass people who are gonna rape you or tell you their life story 15 minutes after meeting you. Now, for the most part, I’ve been very fortunate in the online dating department. In fact, me and my current girlfriend met on OkCupid (if she knew I was telling you this though I probably wouldn’t have a girlfriend anymore), and I understand that most people who’ve used online dating services such as, Tinder, POF, OkCupid, Match, bumble, have had some pretty fucked up experiences. Especially girls, beause some guys are literal pieces of shit and should be flushed down the toilet of prison to be-butt fucked for 20 to 30 years with the possibility of parole.
