Spooky season is the time for treats, not tricks. But here's the thing not everyone has the same interests and desires. Some people love candy corn and others don't which is completely valid 🍭
It's really that simple. Just like your taste in candy might be different from others, your interests in relationships aren't always the same. Setting healthy boundaries can help align your relationships with things that are best for you!

La temporada espeluznante es para dulces, no para trucos. Pero la cosa es que no todas las personas tenemos los mismos intereses y deseos. A algunas personas les gusta el dulce de calabaza y a otras no – y eso se vale.
Es así de sencillo. Al igual que tus preferencias en cuanto a los dulces pueden ser diferentes a las de otras personas, los gustos en las parejas íntimas no siempre son iguales. Al fi jar límites sanos, ¡puedes alinear tus relaciones de pareja con lo que es mejor para ti!

Our hearts go out to all affected by this terrible act of violence.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of Shelby and Emma. Their loss is a tragic reminder that domestic violence affects every community. Please speak up if you see the signs—your voice can save a life.

Falling for someone and respecting them go hand-in-hand. Consent is not a one-time conversation—it's a continuous practice of checking in, listening, and respecting boundaries. Let's build connections on foundations of mutual respect.

The graphic reads “Falling for someone? Make sure you practice healthy Boundaries & Respect”

Querer a una persona y respetarla van de la mano. El consentimiento no es una conversación que se tiene una sola vez, sino una práctica continua que consiste en prestar atención, escuchar y respetar los límites. Construyamos nuestras relaciones sobre la base del respeto mutuo.

Just like you'd never force someone to drink a latte they don't want or wouldn't want someone to drink yours without asking, you should never assume consent.

We each have the right to change our minds about our boundaries and our coffee orders. That's why it's always best to just ask! ☕️
__________________________________________________________________________

Al igual que nunca le obligarías a alguien a tomar un latte que no quiere, ni dejarías que alguien se tomara el tuyo sin preguntar, nunca debes dar por hecho el consentimiento.

Siempre tenemos el derecho a cambiar de opinión sobre nuestros límites y sobre lo que pedimos en una cafetería. Por eso, ¡siempre es mejor preguntar! ☕️
