Amidst my own ongoing relationship drama, I recently found myself on the front lines of the dissolution of a marriage. I had been privy to much of what was happening first-hand, but even I was caught unaware by the tipping point that would launch the relationship into a full-fledged separation and inevitable divorce. It is [...]

Well then, let’s get to the topic at hand. There are perhaps no “right” words to write about what the last three months have brought to both of our lives. With or without meaning to, my boyfriend and I both placed expectations upon what living together would be- me, naïvely but in good faith, and he, apparently [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

So, I have some news. I’m moving in with my boyfriend. In 14 days. The decision was made over a month ago and I’ve wanted to write about it ever since, but it hasn’t exactly been a happy occurrence. In fact, my days and insomnia-filled nights have been rife with doubt, anxiety, disappointment, and grasping [...]

So there I am, sitting on the bus the other morning, minding my own bee’s wax, when I notice the couple sitting next to me. As does the all male contingent sitting all around me, sporting many a scornful face and much eye rolling. See, the couple sitting next to me turned out to be [...]

About a week ago, I started getting a strange text message. One of those that is all “familiar” and such, but you have no idea who it’s from. Which is odd because I’ve had the same number for over 2 years now. Anyway, as odd as the text was, I ignored it and its strange [...]

One otherwise unmemorable night, my boyfriend and I sat watching T.V., each on our respective sides of his couch. My legs stretched out across the fabric, bridging the gap, and we talked of forgettable things. Maybe how stupid that 2012 movie was, how my janky knee was calling for rain, maybe even debated the level [...]
