Before I get started, however, I want to dedicate this post to someone I've never met before but who has nevertheless changed my life forever. I want to honor the memory of Lee MacMillan, a "van life" social media influencer whose travel vlogs I've watched for years.

As I round out my second victory lap of undergrad, I have become very acclimatized to generalized, constant anxiety.

Holy moly I'm 24! What?? That's hard for me to fathom. This is the age a younger me would have dreamed to be engaged.

"This is your dog," my mom said, emphatically shoving a phone in my face that presented a picture of the scraggliest, oddest-looking kangaroo/deer creature I had ever seen.

This is a question I've found myself asking myself a number of times in my life, whether it be concerning a romantic or platonic relationship.

I'm putting this on the internet because I just realized I've been desperately combing social media for the past hour seeking out reassurance that I myself could provide.

When I first read this question posed to me by a reader, I laughed aloud because the truth is...I was the f-boy's biggest fan until fairly recently in my life.

Okay, so I just found this draft on my blog from like three years ago. I'm not sure why I never published it at the time, but reading it now kinda gave me a kick out of it.

*Disclaimer: I'm going to say a bunch of stuff in this post that sounds like a feminist rant against the tyranny of men.

This is a topic I’ve been wanting to speak on since I began to feel the weight of it at the age of fourteen. It’s not easy to talk about, but I know how alone and out-of-place I felt at times in high school.
