What People Don’t Tell You About Sex
First thing is you don’t have to know everything. In fact, learning is half the fun. If it’s both you and your partner’s first time then take time with it. You aren’t meant to be all ‘wham bam, you’re welcome ma’am.’ I know this isn’t much comfort but it’s the best advice anyone could give you.

Why We All Step Back From Politics
“Politicians care only about progressing their own power not helping the people they jovially serve.” You’re walking into McDonald's, contemplating your order. You’re feeling for some beef right now. There are multiple tills open but you walk up to till 4.

You Never Forget Your First Time
My Grandpa died last month, just like the typical way all grandparents do eventually, taking secrets and stories along with them. It never actually hit me I don’t think. Not the way it did everyone else. Or maybe it did and I just didn’t want to show it whilst everyone else was sobbing. In a way—that I wouldn’t admit to anyone—it was terrifying. I try to act like I’ve seen it all before and that I’m more grown up than I am. I’m totally adamant to other people that I’m okay, I’m fine, it doesn’t bother me. I’m not really sure why but honestly I never saw it as a bad thing anyways. Not until every time I was about to cry I had to force it back down my throat with a reminder that I had to be strong because my family needed me. I started to realise that it didn’t feel okay and it actually hurt to make myself “un-sad.”
