LET'S TALK ABOUT (PERIOD) SEX

That is until now - my baby daddy/life partner can not go with the flow. He has described the idea of intercourse during my menses as ‘gross’, ’disgusting’ and ‘yucky’. 

As a living, breathing, bleeding, self identifying womxn I took immediate offense to this. How dare anyone put down a perfectly natural bodily function?

There's so much I want to do, and I'm so committed to all of it- I act and perform comedy, I make visual art, I sing and dance, and I write, so it all depends on what pops first.  In 5 years, I would love to be writing for a TV show like the Today Show or Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.  I would also love to do SNL, but I would love to have my OWN sketch comedy show even more. Hopefully in 5 years I'll know how to animate, so I can merge my love of comedy and my love of drawing to have my own satirical cartoon. Also maybe kids.  Or a pug. 2 pugs.

I'd say definitely my mannerisms and slang, the way I move and my mind frame. I've lived in numerous parts of the city. Chicago is about making moves and fast pace living. You have to have a certain mentality to survive; Be strong, have thick skin, street smart, and a certain focus.

A STORY: #NoBanNoWall

Confused, I looked around at my surroundings to notice a whole village in a Mediterranean climate.  I pulled out my phone, looked for wifi, went to google maps and zoomed out on my location.  I was in Iran and with no way back to my family.  What was I to do now?  As if I were wandering in some kind of limbo amongst other strays like me, trying to find their way back.
