I am planning to explore sex this summer for the first time and I'm scared

I am a 21, almost 22 year old woman, and I met a cute girl on Hinge. We've been talking for a while, and we are going to meet up and date and plan to sleep with each other in the coming month, since we are both working summer contract jobs in the area. I am very troubled about this, despite desperately wanting to explore sex and romance.

I am afraid that by sleeping with somebody in the context of a short term relationship, I am cheapening myself and making it harder for me to find a serious partner in the future, and letting that potential person down. I was raised to place significant value in sexual purity and heterosexuality. It's causing me psychological pain to the point I'm unsure if this is a wise idea for me at this time. I have never been in a romantic relationship or on a serious date.

For those of you who have dealt with similar feelings, how should I approach this? Give me your best big sibling /parental advice. Should I rip the band aid off?

Veho lost my package

I accidentally put in a nonexistant address, and then by their request gave them the address of a trusted neighbor. It's been sitting in the warehouse for ten days and now it's apparently lost. Every time I use Thredup there's always some stupid issue with Veho. Why can't they just use Fedex.

The vindication of learning styling vocabulary as a yang-dominant woman

Hello,

I am a kibbe flamboyant gamine, typed with gamine, dramatic, natural, and classic kitchener essence. I am earthy rich/true autumn colored, and I have no romantic or yin outside of my height and gamine bone structure.

I was raised in a culture that heavily favors "yin" beauty in women. When people gifted me clothing as a child, it would reflect this, and I would feel wrong in it in a way I didn't have words for. Often, I would be told an item of clothing flattered me when it clearly did not simply because it met this softer expression of beauty. Because I was short, that was "cute," and older women in my life tried to push my expression in the ingenue direction.

As soon as I started going through puberty, I realized that androgynous styles felt more authentic and flattering.This led to accusations of "rejecting womanhood," that I needed to "embrace my femininity," and other nonsense. I wore ill fitting men's clothing and bad short haircuts because it made more sense to me than the styles marketed towards teen girls. This didn't flatter me either because it was too big for me, and I looked frumpy. When I learned about kibbe and kitchener in college, I realized my instinct was correct, the "soft" femininity that was initially assigned to my appearance did indeed clash visually, and that I am simply a yang dominant woman who needs specific styling.

I am significantly more comfortable in my skin now. I can even wear dresses and longer hairstyles that I feel attractive in, and I can embrace both my masculinity and my femininity and still look good because I understand how to dress myself. Androgyny is beautiful, and having the words to describe what I need stylistically to feel great is great.
