Change is an inevitable part of life, and as women, we often find ourselves at the forefront of navigating both personal and societal transformations. Whether it’s transitioning to a new job, moving to a different city, or dealing with changes in relationships, the ability to adapt to new circumstances can be both daunting and empowering.

As a stud, I’ve realized that letting go of relationships—whether they’re romantic, platonic, or familial—can often be one of the most challenging yet liberating journeys we face.

Saying yes is not just about taking opportunities as they come; it’s about actively choosing to engage with the world around me, leaning into the discomfort that often accompanies growth.

Toxic relationships can sometimes sneak up on us, often masquerading as affection or passion. As a masculine of center lesbian, I’ve encountered various forms of relationships that, on the surface, seemed vibrant and full of potential. However, it didn’t take long for the signs of toxicity to emerge. Manipulation, emotional instability, and constant criticism are often disguised as ‘tough love.’
