Losing your innocence is just a side effect of growing up. There's no one certain thing that causes it. It doesn't automatically go away when you turn 13 or when you lose your virginity or when you get dumped for the first time. It all varies from person to person, from age to age, from…

We all change, it's inevitable. We grow up, we experience new things, go through phases, meet new people. We take every little experience and slowly it changes us into a different person over time.

A lot of people are scared of changing. They are scared of the unknown and they are scared of their loved ones changing. Because when people change, you don't always change with them. But I actually love change. For four years of my life I was the same person, dating the same guy. I went…
My word for 2020 is acceptance - and boy, have I really had to put that to use. I like to think back to my word every once in a while and reflect on how I've been doing. I've had to accept a lot this year. I think we can all agree that 2020 pretty…
