It's January 2004. I'm 15 going on 30 and am falling for the boy-next-door who sells pot and has sideburns. We spend our days making out and quoting Mall Rats. We are falling hopelessly while we try to navigate the rollercoaster that is our young love. Hormones rage. Jealousy rages. Our love blooms and brawls.
In this episode, I share the embarrassing story of the first time I saw/touched a p*nis and then just a few days later, losing my virginity to the boy who stole my heart. This episode is surprisingly light-hearted and I even laugh at myself a little.
I hope you enjoy the story and reflect on your own if it feels right to do so. <3
