Stop Fighting So Hard For His Attention
Stop fighting for their attention. Stop posting pictures with the hope they will realize how pretty you are. Stop forcing conversations with the hope they will realize how much fun you are. Stop throwing yourself at them when they have not been showing anywhere near the same amount of interest. You do not want to end up […]

Dear God, Thank You For These Gifts
I always wake up in the morning thinking about the life I wanted. Always daydreaming. Always planning. Always setting high expectations for myself. That’s why there are times I get disappointed, hurt, and restless. But then as I woke up today, on my 24th birthday, I feel nothing but contentment in my heart. Then I […]

Just So You Know, You Can Live A Life Full Of Love Even Without A Partner
You can live a life full of love without a partner. I know this because my grandma did it. Long story short, right before my mom was born, my grandpa left and my grandmother never remarried. In the 1960’s this was considered a near tragedy, especially if you were a woman and especially if you were Catholic, too. […]

Why Modern Dating Makes Me Want To Punch Myself In The Throat
As a 22-year-old single woman I’m pretty much living in the thickest part of the modern hookup culture – perfecting the art of getting the right guy to buy you a drink at a bar, crafting the perfect response to a text to make you seem just interested enough, taking the proper five seconds to […]

Don’t Be Afraid To Do Things Alone
I’m a solo adventurer, I am a loner. I am the woman you see alone at a coffee shop drinking tea and reading a book. I am the one who takes herself out on dates and sit-downs at restaurants by herself, without shame. I am the woman who attends concerts without feeling awkward about being there […]

When You Get Over Him For Real, You’ll Know It
There were a million times when I swore I was over you, when I promised myself I would never deal with your bullshit again, but then you liked one of my photos or sent a text and I fell right back to square one. I got used to the cycle of loving you, hating you, […]

I May Not Be Who I Want To Be Right Now, But I’m On My Way There
I woke up this morning really not feeling good mentally and that feeling continued to follow me to work, weighing heavily on my chest and in my stomach. There is only one thought that I can use to try and describe what I am feeling: This is not who I want to be, this is […]

To All The People Who Still Love Me At My Most Unlovable, Thank You
To the people who hold me up when my knees give out and I start tumbling to the floor, thank you. Thank you for being my extra pair of legs when mine refuse to work. For letting me lean on your strength when I’m convinced the rest of the world wants me face down in […]

Date Someone Who Takes Your Picture
Say goodbye to the boys who roll their eyes when you reach out your arm to take another selfie. The boys who tease you about how many pictures you snap and how many times you post on Instagram. Date a boy who sees the beauty in photography. A boy who would never make a face […]

He Wasn’t Your Soulmate, He Was A Distraction
He wasn’t your soulmate and you knew he wasn’t your soulmate. Indecision is what happens when you can’t accept what you already know to be true. He wasn’t your soulmate, he was an anchor that kept you steady, and then left you stuck. He was the sun in your universe when you weren’t sure what else to […]
