And I didn’t even expect it.
I know it’s all I’ve been writing about for the past two years (well, year and nine months, but who’s counting?) but I still didn’t expect it to happen when it did. When the medium told me I’d meet him about two and a…
Growing up, my mother consistently told me not to worry about men. She insisted that I needed to focus on my life and my career first and then men would come. I listened to her (although I was extremely boy crazy) and focused mostly on my future and carving a…
After I shared my last blog post, I realized that I wasn’t the only woman who felt unworthy of love. Multiple women were able to relate to the subconscious pattern of choosing partners they felt were ‘less than’. And why wouldn’t they? Living in a heterosexual, patriarchal society has taught…
After Scruff broke it off with me, I tried to convince myself that I was okay.
No matter how it actually went down, the outcome was still the same: our situationship had ended. We were both no longer interested in each other and were free to move on. Yet, I…
The last time I’d broken up with Scruff, it didn’t end well.

Once I got to Virginia and settled in at my mother’s house, I breathed a sigh of relief. There was something comforting about being back in the suburbs, almost as if I had missed it after living in Connecticut for so long. I spent my first day feeling disoriented from…
My entire dating life has felt like a continual fight.
I used to pride myself on the fact that I never asked men for much. I was totally open to splitting checks, dating scrubs and even going out of my comfort zone if it made their lives easier. All I…
While Scruff was off on his ship, he did email as promised. We went back and forth for six weeks, talking about everything and nothing at the same time. Sometimes the internet on his ship would fail and I’d have to wait days for a response. Sometimes he’d simply be…
In a world that can’t agree on many things, one thing I believe we can all agree with is the phrase ‘life is short’. Now more than ever, with COVID-19 ravaging the planet (well the United States at least), police murdering us in the streets, fires burning through crucial vegetation…
