A few years ago I bought an old red bicycle with the words 'Free Spirit' written across its side - which is exactly what I felt like when I rode it down the street in a tie-dyed dress.
Kissing - and I mean like yummy smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do bar none. Better than sex hands down.
There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.
It wasn't my choice to be an open book, but when people found out what my life was like when I was 14 or 15, I didn't deny it. I think the more imperfect you are the more human you are.
