I Didn’t Know I Was Being Abused By My Boyfriend
One of my biggest failures in my life is staying in a relationship with someone who was making me miserable. He made me feel like crap for a good part of our relationship. He would always be comparing me to other girls, calling me dumb and boring among other things. There was always something to complain about with him.

“In a plain T-shirt with a bag over his head, [Gary] Gilmore was strapped into a chair, waiting for a firing squad to execute him at Utah State Prison.

A new year typically means new resolutions to lose weight or to only drink lemon and turmeric for breakfast. January is the time of year to hit the gym (if they’re open still) and try to lose that extra 10 lbs we gained over the holidays or the extra weight you’ve been carrying since…well…forever.

I Was Body Shamed By My Parents Just A Few Hours After Giving Birth
It was only a mere few hours after I had given birth to my son and I was already body shamed. By my own parents. My dad asked “Why do you still look pregnant?” My mom agreed.
