Hey, it’s OK…

… If you don’t have a party trick. You showed up – that’s enough. … If having more than five internet tabs open means your brain starts to malfunction. Breathe in, aaand close. … To check your phone every time you hear a message alert while you’re on the bus, even though you know yours is on silent. … To decide your flatmate isn’t who you thought she was when she leaves breadcrumbs in the butter. … If you wish your friend happy birthday on just one form of social media. … To wonder if your colleague who “doesn’t drink coffee” has secret superhuman powers, because, just how? … If your going-out prep consists of 50 minutes watching Youtube hair tutorials and 10 minutes doing your usual ponytail.

“For many, sex has consequences. While some can keep it ‘no strings attached’, others will develop feelings. My research shows that sex and the physiological fireworks involved can actually prime the brain for romantic attachment, and for some women (and men), the emotional responses to sex are part of the pleasure. So recognise that it may not be possible for you to keep your emotions separate, and then decide if it’s worth it.” – Dr Justin Garcia, sex researcher
