I was the photographer at my Boyfriend’s Wedding
We were dating for several months when the grand idea to test out celibacy came about. Not that the intimate part of our relationship wasn’t satisfying. But more so, when done with the right intention, it can be so advantageous to your relationship. In my mind, focusing on self-disciple and real intimacy in our relationship…

The BIG 4-0
I am approaching the big 4-0 and I am beyond excited. I have been looking forward to 40 since I was 33. . At 33 it seemed so far away enough that I would have sufficient time to do so much. One main thing that stuck with me is the desire to take a sabbatical,…

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson : Love That Inspired Tatts and Branding
Long ago and oh so far away I got dumped and in typical female fashion I stalked my ex on every freaking social media platform. I even checked his LinkedIn profile for any updates about absolutely ANY and EVERYTHING. I stalked him until I got exactly what I was looking for. He had a new…

Why He Left…
It was purely accidental that we crossed each others paths. I hadn’t spoken to him in years. I thought of him quite frequently though. After every failed attempt of dating. After being ghosted after what I thought was a great exchange. While lying in bed wondering if I’d ever experience another healthy intimate relationship. It…

Learning to Trust the Process

Get Over Yourself
The past couple months I’ve been experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. Some of them dragging my energy down forcing me to speak strongly to myself. While some have had me feeling hella exhilarated and vibrant, these I thoroughly enjoy. But there are some emotions that had me feeling contemplative and unproductive. A racing mind with…

Death of A Friendship…
Everyone talks about the pain of an intimate relationship ending, but we hardly speak of the gap that’s left when we have to end a friendship. Who am I going to call/text at ungodly hours with random thoughts who will instantly answer and understand the randomness and never question the oddity of it all? Who’s…

Connection & Interdependence
It’s the weather for me. It always has been. Whenever the weather is gloomy and the rain heavy, I long to curl up in bed under the covers and snuggle. For some time it’s been only me in my singleness, as of late I’ve felt the urge to be held. To hold onto someone. To…

You Miss Every Shot You Don’t Take
So, I’m driving with my man child and we’re conversing about life and relationships. And he makes a statement that floors me. He said you miss every shot you never take. It’s not a statement I’ve never heard before but at that moment it had me thinking. Like why was I still single? Why was…
