• My Toxic Traits

  

  Dating profiles; are nonsense- they’re meant to be quick, catchy, show a slice of your personality and if you’re lucky you come off a slither interesting. But it got me thinking ( typically ) what if we wrote about the not so attractive parts of ourselves? What if we skipped past the typical conversation points…

• Sour

  

  It still makes me sad that you never wanted me as much as I did you, I did all of the right things, brought you into my fold, So openly and with deep affection, Why wasn’t I good enough? Knowing what I have to offer, what about me didn’t suit? I was myself, I let…

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 8: Intimacy

  

  Let’s talk intimacy, but not the kind you’re used to hearing about. As I’ve slowly began to lightly dip my toe back into the dating game ( and I mean lightly ), it has gotten me thinking about the foundational things I am looking for. One of those things is; intimacy, real connective intimacy. This…

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me: Pt 7 Mental Health

  

  When I began this series, I suppose this should have been one of the 1st posts, but it didn’t work out that way. In some aspects this series came about on a whim and the subject matter varies, but it’s no secret that we have had our fair share of experiences when it comes to…

• How To Improve Your Self Love

  

  Self Love. Another one of those buzz words we hear floating around, but one of the things I want to do is not simply use the words as a fad- but actively take steps to improve the way I feel about myself. When things don’t go our way, relationships fail or we don’t get that…

• Don’t Wait Till You’re Old & Grey To Forgive Yourself

  One of my goals in 2022, is to continue with a personal journal consistently. This time around, I chose to go the route of using prompts; the self searching kind. One of the questions which recently came up, was What 3 things do you need to forgive yourself for? You can imagine that not only…

• Toothbrush

  My toothbrush is missing you,Not knowing when you will bring your lips close,Caress its neck with your strong hands,Your fingers long and slender,Grip so steady, yet so soft,Moving me ever so slowly back and forth across you,I am missing our closeness,You being mine and me being yours,Missing you keeping the cupboard doors ajar,Clamouring into them…

• The Lies We Tell Ourselves

  Life can be overwhelming at times, and lately it feels like everything is so much more acute. All of our feelings are so much more visceral and so much more 0 to 100, I don’t know if we’re willing to simply sit with out feelings a lot more. It’s all reaction based. A couple of…

• Running

  For a long time, all I did was run,Avoid my feelings, Mask the vulnerability and put on a brave face,Show the face I thought they wanted to see,Be strong, courageous and smile through the self-doubt,I didn’t need anyone, I had myself,No one could disappoint, if I didn’t let them get close enough to,So, I kept…

• When Your Brain Runs Away From You

  I know I’m not alone in saying this, but 14 months and counting of this pandemic has really, really, REALLY pushed my normally strong, optimistic mental health to the absolute edge! E-D-G-E! Knowing it’s understandable or that many people can relate hasn’t really made me feel all that great about. Reading countless blogs, articles and…
