I’d always try them earlier than later too. Unless there are sports that don’t start until older ages, it can be embarrassing if you’re a beginner in a sports club hardly able to hit a ball, while everyone else has been playing for 3-5 years. That kind of situation would have p...
Should I be doing this? I have so much else to do, is this a distraction? Or is blogging just another version of chocolate, sappy movies, wanting to cry, desperately wishing a time machine would materialize in my living room to whisk me back to a time when the biggest decisions I had...
I hated the moments as everyone else’s parents would pick them up as I waited for my mom to come get me. And I hated being left with a baby sitter. As you go back and find that kid again, it will help you find the pieces to the puzzle. Why did we have the fears we had as...

I love the natural look too and days at home when I love nothing more than to slather myself in moisturiser and nothing else. And now that I am older its not because its overcompensating for a lack of confidence elsewhere (well, a little still maybe!), but I actually really like it...
But now there’s something else, made by people who want to go beyond 12-year-old boys. There’s something for girls, something for women, something for men who are interested in topics besides guys punching each other out. Really, at last, what’s happened is we’re back to comics ...
