Consent goes a long way.

Communication

Do they want to hear what you’re asking?

Do they want to respond?

Do they want to teach or learn?

Both?

Do they care?

Is your communication a waste in the greater picture?

Affection

Do they want your affection?

Is this how they want to receive affection?

Would they rather show me affection?

Is it benefiting either of us?

Should I redirect?

Should I find a better balance?

Presence.

Is my presence wanted?

Is my presence known?

Do I enjoy their presence?

Is the balance in the direction of pos or neg?

Do they mind my presence?

All my ladies out there! Let’s chat about something not everyone feels comfortable talking about: periods. We all get them, we all hate them, but picture living somewhere where you do not have the education or resources to maintain them. Then, try to picture even being shunned for that wonderous week while you’re on it. Crazy, right? In some countries, this is just reality for most young girls…

What is Bombas exactly? Derived from…
