Why is it Victoria’s secret?


Undergarments are of course meant to be worn under clothes, and by nature then, they are secretive. But this does not mean that they cannot be discussed openly. I am not the best person to be discussing this issue, because I still feel like I need my mother to tell me how to dress. 

Clothes are a very important part of a woman's identity. And in today's confusing world, it is very difficult to help your daughters buy the right clothes. Let me start by saying that comfort should be of utmost importance, which mean she should feel good about what she is wearing (whether it is actually comfortable or not). But say you manage to navigate around the women's clothing aisle successfully, the question of inner wear still looms in the vicinity. 

Many women have recently taken to not wearing bras. But personally, I like myself better in one than without one. It is always best to consult the attendants at the shop when it comes to choosing a size. They might be able to help with the style of the bra as well, but that depends on the clothes you will be wearing too. 

I had to enlist the help of an aunt to buy my first bra. But it took a few turns, before I found a style and size that suited me. Growing up, I never used training bras, and I wish someone had clued me in to them before; so that is what I am doing here. A training bra helps avoid many awkward middle school experiences. I bought new bras every year as I was growing up. This made sense since my body was changing at that pace. These days every time I lose or gain a chunk of weight, I have to consider shopping. It gets tiring and expensive, but it is worth it if you find the perfect fit. 

Undergarments affect your hygiene. The wrong kind of underwear can increase chances of infection. It is, therefore, important to be patient with your body and find out what works for it. If my mother was around to warn me about thongs, I could saved myself some pain. 

Some secrets are not meant to kept secret. And the more we talk about these kind of things, the easier it is on our daughters and their parents.

The pursuit of purpose.

Are we alone in the universe? Is there a greater intelligence than ours? Do we have a purpose? Why do we exist? Perhaps the Earth is a thought experiment, only that the computation is being done by the human mind. The search for the meaning of life is unique for each individual; while some of us do not prioritize it, others make a living out of it. But the need to know ‘why’ exists in almost every one of us. In my pursuit for purpose, I have taken different paths and I hope you will be happy to explore them with me. Humans have asked the ‘why’ of their existence for centuries, but they have not agreed upon an answer. Many great minds seem to believe in many different hypotheses. Nihilism says humans have no purpose. Creationists believe that a God created us, but they don’t know why he did that. No holy scripture sets out an ultimate goal for humanity. Religion offers subtle guidelines of how to search for purpose, but for the most of it, religion preaches about the greater good. It l...

Am I ready to become a mother?

No, I am not married nor in a committed relationship. No, I am not sexually active nor am I thinking of adoption. Today I am 26 years old and am wondering : am I ready to be a mother? I am thinking about this because there is a right time for everything and today is the right time to wonder about this particular phase of my life. Let me tell you a little more about myself. I am an engineer with a master's degree in control theory and am currently enrolled in a doctoral program. Being a student at this age is not fun. My friends have moved on in their lives and are successful in their jobs, are aspiring home-owners and parents. My family has just moved on and has stopped worrying about me, since I am a grown up. Financial independence means earning enough to cover rent and living in perpetual credit card debt. Add to that the onus of repaying student loans. My long distance relationship ended when my boyfriend did not long for me anymore and became distant. Times two. Getting a PhD ...
