The other evening, I posted a somewhat cryptic Facebook status about not owning a Jiu Jitsu gym if you’re an empath, because your heart will break every time that someone leaves. I was just in my feelings temporarily, not really thinking about one specific instance, and decided to vent online (I don’t know why, is […]
Read moreMarry Your Best Friend
I think that the older I get, and the more years that pass, the more that I truly appreciate my spouse and the friendship we share. While yes, I am extremely physically attracted to his appearance, (he’s a 10/10 and what I believe to be the most handsome man alive) and we have the fiery […]
Read moreTo Thine Own Self Be True
Boundaries when it comes to your life and relationships are either mildly compromisable or else hard-line non-negotiable. What I mean by this, is that people grow and develop into the person they want to become, they either grow with the people around them, or else figure out that they need to deviate from one another […]

Is my partner my biggest advocate, confidante, cheerleader, supporter? Or secretly, a hater lurking in the shadows? By this I mean are they truly rooting for me when I am excelling in things, even when they themselves are coming up short, which let’s be honest, can be quite the blow to anyone’s ego. Watching those around […]

It’s 2023, a new year, time to leave all the bullshit behind in the past. I can guarantee that every woman (and perhaps some men) reading this blog can relate to their story of a fake ass friend, whether from their days of adolescence, to through the teenage years, and even now in adulthood. Not […]

Women need other uplifting women in their life to radiate powerful effeminate yet masculine […]

I recently had a conversation with my partner about no longer seeking approval or validation from others, and instead, living life in a way you choose to that makes you happy. After all, if it is causing no harm to anyone at all, why give a pilgrim’s buckle what anyone else thinks. Living your life […]

I’d rather be the lone wolf than the Omega; the last in the pack, the scapegoat, the ones who eat last. There are many who probably (wrongly) assume I am the alpha, keen to lead the pack and be the strong and constant vigilant ruler. But I hate, nay, loathe that type of responsibility. I […]
Read moreThe People That Made Us
They say that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I kind of believe in the mindset that nothing is really ultimately up to chance, and the people that flit in and out of our lives due so with a purpose, even if it is a harsh lesson to […]
Read moreGratitude
Gratitude. One simple, small little word with a whole lot of depth and meaning. We are but a microsm of the universe; here for a finite amount of time and simply a blip on the radar that will mean almost nothing to practically the entirety of the world. To the few who matter though, we […]
