"Talking it out with anybody did not help, and to some degree it can’t. I’m the only one who can decide what this will mean for me or what the next best step is. Even my therapist was like, you're just going to have to decide what is most important to you.”

“People are really terrified of this and they will go through their whole lives being miserable in so many just to say that they are not alone. That’s kind of where I found myself.”

Key topics include breakups, queerness and navigating bisexuality in straight monogamous relationships, and mental illness.
