Where we are taught from a young age that you should always be improving yourself, and that loving yourself is rude or vain. Well I’m here to break those walls down.

Please note this post does contain some episode spoilers, but no big story lines. Netflix’s Big Mouth  Big Mouth is one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen, yet it is so good and tackles such important issues – it’s truly a masterpiece.  Now I can’t speak for the male side of puberty, but for me it depicts the changes to the female body amazingly accurately.
