My big boobs: Why they’re not as great as you think

You’re Unattractive, Bad at Sports and Lazy. What Labels are You Tagging Yourself With?

I was describing the process of blogging and social media to my mother and she said to me, “Well, I’m glad you have worked all that out because you used to be terrible with computers.” It got me thinking. How many tags I attach to myself based on incorrect labels that others have given me. […]
