    When we come out, it doesn’t always turn out to be a gay, rainbow-filled love-fest like we imagine. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community are often plagued by self-loathing, intimacy issues, depression, and anxiety. We’re constantly told that we should love ourselves, but how exactly are we supposed to do that?

    How to Love Yourself

    How to Love Yourself

    We're constantly being told that we should go and love ourselves, but how can you find out how to love yourself? What is love? (Baby, don't hurt me.) This week, we talk about practicing self-love and whether or not wine and a bubble bath are actually worth the trouble. 

    The poem, "Bubbles" is by Jess Darnell.
